Weather: low 27 degrees, high 33 degrees, cloudy, SNOW!!!!!!!!!
Here's what we got up to this Christmas morning. And a fine morning it was.
At the time this picture was taken, there was about two inches of snow on the ground. The snow continued most of the day, and by the time it was dark, about 3 to 4 inches had accumulated. The white stuff is supposed to continue tonight and in to tomorrow morning. Perfect weather for the first Christmas in the new home base.
We had Judy, Roger, and Traci here for lunch. Terri and Thomas were supposed to be here, but Terri had to drive from Tuscaloosa, and people were being advised to stay off the highway unless they had to be there. Finally, Terri left Tuscaloosa about 1400 hours, and managed to get here before I-65 was closed. She got here about 1700 hours, and it was a happy time seeing her and Thomas. Judy and her family were still here, so it was like a family reunion.
Our daughters know what we like to get for Christmas, and they outdid themselves this year. Here's an example of what we got.
Books, books, and more books. Plus - CHOCOLATE!!
Note that those are 42 ounce bags. I can see a chocolate overload coming on. That was just a sample of the chocolate that we got, as there was also Godiva and Dove chocolates. If I was still a teenager, I would be breaking out in acne just looking at it.
All the work I went through to get the wireless router working paid off, as Terri was able to get on the Internet with the router using her I-phone. She was impressed with the speed, and both of us were using the router at the same time with no noticeable slowdown in speed. I like it when a plan works. Even if it was so hard to get to work.
It was a good day for us that could only have been improved if Lori and her family could have been here. Maybe next year. In the meantime, we're grateful for being able to spend the holiday with Judy and her family for the first time in about 20 years.
I want to reiterate again how much we appreciate all the people in the armed forces who are spending the holidays away from family.
Merry Christmas.
More later, be safe.
