Boxing Day (the day after Christmas)

We did have a nice Christmas Day. We opened our gifts. Margaret called and asked us to come over for dinner, so we got ready to go and headed west. John drove and I knitted while we listened to some of the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas CDs that Wayne had picked out for us. There was more traffic than we would've expected, but not too many trucks, and no problems.

Matt and Jesse were both home, and it was such a treat to see them. Amanda was at home with her family, but Wanda and Larry were there for the good food. Margaret and Bobby had fixed a great Southern meal of baked ham, corn, mashed potatoes, pinto beans, and cornbread. Big YUM! And, with Wanda's contributions, the dessert selection was awesome.

We didn't quite leave "between dinner and dishes", but it was close - we wanted to get home before dark. And it was a good thing, too. We drove into rain as we crossed over Monteagle, and then it was more-or-less rain all the way home. The driving was not fun - and I wasn't even doing any of it. John's shoulder was really killing him by the time we got home. Poor baby - he didn't need that.

I got in my swim class and coffee this morning, and John got in a nice walk in the sunshine. That was about all we accomplished today.
The next bunch of family starts coming in tomorrow afternoon, and we have folks coming and going through the weekend. What a great time that is!

No Christmas pictures yet - I'll post some after this weekend. Today's picture is stained glass from the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland.
