We spent Christmas Eve at my friend Judy's house.
I got up at about 9:30. Two of the girls were already up and getting anxious to open presents but we waited until David was up and showered. The girls seemed pleased with their presents. I got a beautiful bracelet from David:
I made a delicious meal in record time. David wanted beef instead of turkey. I got a Santa Maria Tri-Tip Roast from Trader Joe's and we had the Gruyere cauliflower we had at Thanksgiving and smashed red potatoes. It was really good and took a lot less time than the traditional turkey and all the trimmings. After lunch David and I went for a walk along Franklin Street in Chapel Hill to work off some of the calories. I like walking along Franklin Street when it is deserted. We came home and had Mrs Smith's Apple Pie and cream and then everyone did their own thing.
Merry Christmas!

Hi Jackie, I didn't know you had a blog. I enjoyed reading all your past posts. When are we all going to get together again for either lunch or dinner? I often mention to Mary it is long overdue. We missed not seeing your folks upon their return from Florida last Spring. We are heading over to Torquay in late April and will look for them in the Devon Dumpling! Please let us know if you can meet up with us in the near future. Best regards, Bob.
