Well . . . it\u2019s December 22 and that means 3 days until Christmas. This year we went to Kevan and Erin\u2019s for an early holiday since they were here last year and this year is her family\u2019s turn. That\u2019s fair, I guess. <\/p>\n
We had a wonderful time\u2014even with (especially with) the BIG snow that blanketed the east coast. Lots of time with the guys, good food, gifts and shoveling! and shoveling!<\/p>\n
We stayed an extra night to give the various areas\u2019 snow plows time to do their bit\u2014pretty amazing\u2014only unplowed street between Washington DC and Philadelphia was mine. It was great how the city dug out the “Linc”<\/a> so the Eagles<\/a> could win, however. I\u2019ll give my street to that! (It has been plowed by now.)<\/p>\n A most wonderful event was that when we got home my neighbor and cousin, Susan, had seen that our sidewalk, driveway and walk to the door were clear. Very wonderful as this was a 23 inch snow and all our shoveling muscles were done in from the snow in VA.<\/p>\n Down side of all this is that I really need that weekend before Christmas to get ready for Christmas and no matter how many lists I made and great plans and charts I made\u2014the cards are still not done, and the gifts are still not wrapped, some not bought and the food not \u201cgathered in\u201d. And it\u2019s December 22.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well . . . it\u2019s December 22 and that means 3 days until Christmas.
