Christmas visitation


We surely do have a wonderful family. The last of them headed for home this morning, and we did some resting up. Then it's time to do some cleaning up, some eating of the leftovers (a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it!), and getting back into the normal routine. Actually, that'll start tomorrow with the usual Monday morning swim routine.

Have you heard the story about the 6-year-old girl who lied to win concert tickets? She said her father had been killed in Iraq, which was a lie. And her mother is supporting her???!!!??? The mother says there was nothing in the rules that said the story had to be true. But does anybody actually think that a 6-year-old came up with this by herself. Get real! What a terrible example to set for a child. I hope we've done a better job raising our family than this.

Anytime we get the chance to be with family, we say again how lucky we are to have such a great bunch. Keep up the good work! Here are four of our terrific grandchildren!
