A Merry Christmas

Those can be very refreshing.

So Fred is home.  Feeling better.  It truly was a wonderful Christmas gift.  I think we all felt better, including the kids, when we went and saw him last night.  He'll need to take it easy for the next couple of weeks.  Somehow we'll find a way to exercise that heart of his with a few card games.

I guess he'll have to cut back on the goodies a little, though.  "Fred, let me go ahead and take care of those cookies and candy for you."

Hey, it's the least I could do.

Jodi and I became the proud parents of our first home cooked turkey last night.  It's been a little while in the making, a year to be precise.  We finally did it.  Christmas Eve Turkey.  First we brined it, then we cooked it.  I will tell you, it was a masterpiece.  We ate on our once a year china, had a little candle light.  It was a beautiful evening.

Right now, it's snowing amazingly hard outside.  The kids are in bed, it's just Jodi and I.  There seems to be a quiet here right now that hasn't been here all day.

I'm done blogging for tonight. 

Merry Christmas.
