Hi all -
Back from the Indiana 'house of pestilence.'
We went to Ted and Pam Herring's for Christmas ..... Ted already had a cold (which we knew) but while we were there, Pam went down with it too. We figured we were doomed and she certainly was in no shape to worry about company, so we packed up and came home on Friday. I did get their cold (flu?) by Saturday, but not as severe as they had. Tom got it a day or so later - again, lighter. So, our plans for Christmas vacation didn't work out quite as planned, but.....hey! We're retired! We can head that far north just about any time, so when the weather gets better (we drove both directions in rain) and everyone's healthy, we'll hi-ho our way back up for another long weekend.
We did have a great Christmas day - lots of laughs, dinner with more members of the family, fun gifts, playing with Ted's new Wii (that baseball game could land you in therapy for shoulder dislocation from pitching!) and a bit of bridge.
Hope you all fared well over the holidays - the worst thing was that I forgot to bring home the sausage balls and Ted ate them all! And GLOATED over it!
I think New Year's Eve will probably be us warming our bums in front of the fireplace and toasting the start of another (better?) year. We wish you all the same good start!
