Forgot a couple of things -- Jerry died Tues. the 19th & was buried on Fri. the 22nd. Millie had been to see him & his breathing was so labored she prayed he wouldn't last the nite. He'd had another stroke & there was no hope.
And the centerpiece from you is so beautiful - greens, chrysanthemums & Christmas decorations. Very pretty. It adds so much to our Christmas.
We are all pleased with our gifts - Dale likes all his clothes - he said he was set for another year. Shultz's had their Christmas party last Sat. nite at Conewango Valley Country Club - Prime Rib. Said it was good. I made Danish rolls for him & everyone at work last Tues or Wed - had the flue - aches, etc. Kim was also sick those days & was weak on Thurs when they left but she made it O.K. We took them to J.town airport & will pick them up this coming Thurs. at 2 pm. Weather was bad & Dad was glad he had front wheel drive.
I have my sweater on & it's nice. Barb & I like our scarves, Andy. Dad likes his discs & will enjoy them all year. I like the Christmas one a lot.
Tonite Cincy plays Minn. Barb hopes for a Cincy win so Green Bay will advance. Dale hopes for a Minn. win as he is a Steeler fan. I can't believe Barb's interest in sports. A nice change.
We love the picture of Andy. It is so good. He looks older. He's a sweetie.
The Christmas programs or services at church were excellent. Sun A.M. they had the S.S. program. Tom Morelli's wife was in charge of the program & she did a wonderful job. They have 2 boys & a girl. Christmas Eve was nice - the bell choir adds so much - we have a new choir/bell director & an organist & both are a great addition.
Tomorrow will be a busy day at the Mall & I hope to join the crowds looking for bargains. I forgot to say that I had Marie Mathis knit Christmas stockings for Lar & Kim & put in an order for Barb & Dale for next Christmas.
We plan to go out to eat t his week as part of the Christmas celebration. Barb said we should go to the Gristmill - we like that one.
Things are exciting in our world - we are seeing history in the making. A new decade coming up & it will be interesting to see it develop.
Happy New Year & many, many thanks from all of us.
We are enjoying a fire in the fireplace.
