Our Christmas dinner came together nicely - my cranberry pork roast, wild rice, and green Jello salad along with Mary Linda’s Brussels sprouts sautéed with bacon and rosemary (from their garden).  The kids are now Skyping with her family in Michigan and we’ll have dessert later.  I made a gluten-free pumpkin cobbler from a recipe from my friend Lynne.  She served it at book group last month.

Happy birthday to Jrand's Mom!

DR Ginny, I loved the card.  They were more excited about the treats in the box.  And the gift certificate.

The treats were contributed by my friend Rebecca, who got them as a Kroger weekly reward.  She thought I’d give them to Allie, but Mary Linda has her on a diet.

I hope Annabelle and Thatch find something fun at PETCO!

Do you have a laser pointer, Elmore? I haven't heard you mention one.

We had a nice quiet holiday. After Wae-Ling and I got the turkey into the oven, we watched Scrooge the Musical.

Sandra always gets me some M&Ms (my favorite) and some Keurig fancy pods. This year she also added a portable dvd player. Ever since they upgraded the computers to Windows 10, my speakers haven't worked. And for some reason, my laptop won't play any cds or dvds. So now I can watch some dvds.

My son and dil gave me a stuffed kitty with an envelope on the collar. It included a gift certificate for a cat or kitten needing to come home from the pound.

One of my former college directors now lives in New Zealand, and he sent me this wonderful version of the Nativity.

That was really cute, Larry.

There's this one, too, Elmore.

I loved reading about the DO and all the guests....and the photos were lovely.  I want that Capitol Records sweater....a couple of sizes larger.

I didn't notice that.  My sister's boyfriend would really like that sweater, too!

Bruce's Christmas Do was very fun. His new house is beautiful!! The first thing I noticed was how well-lit it was - much brighter than the old house with lots of recessed lighting in the family room and living room. And, of course, everything is so new and perfect. After Bruce complained that everyone was congregating in one room, and not flowing into the family room, someone stood up and said, "I'm going into this other room to be by myself" just to make Bruce happy. It was pretty funny, but as Bruce said, eventually enough people showed up to necessitate splitting off into the other room. Doug Haverty kept telling people, "I made the coconut cake with FOUR eggs, so it's practically a protein source and good for you." There were so many other desserts, I didn't try any, but I'm sure it was delicious. Mark has difficulty finding desserts he's not allergic to, but there was a lemon bunt cake that was very lemony and he enjoyed that very much. Prisca Kim brought Korean pears that were the size of grapefruits! I always put the peanut butter pie in the fridge because it's best served cold, but then I always forget about it. By the time I brought it out, I think everyone was full...oops! Hearing Richard Sherman play piano was very fun. He played a medley of songs from Merry Poppins, but then started over and was repeating Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious - we all looked at his wife, Elizabeth, and she just shrugged, but then Richard looked up at her and said, "Oh, did I already do that one?" We all laughed, and he went on to play "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang". Everyone was singing along to all the songs, which made the whole thing that much more festive. It was a very successful Do indeed.

Great stories, Amy!  Events like that really make me wish I could visit.  Someday!

[George]

Laura, you could have made egg nog French toast.

Mmmm...my sister has made some before and it was absolutely delish!

[George]

It is snowing again, so we officially have a White Christmas!!

And it was down here in Tumwater, too!

[George]

Today is also my mother's 86th birthday.  Here she is holding some random urchin.

Lovely colorized photo, Jack.

Ditto!  It's very nice!  And Happy 86th Birthday to your mother!

Heather Menzies Urich has passed away.....she played Louisa in the film version of The Sound of Music....and was Robert Urich's widow....

This is shock.  She was very active on FaceBook and posted daily about her life.....I guess she was diagnosed with brain cancer only last month......

I read about this today, too. My sister and I used to watch the TV version of "Logan's Run," that Heather starred in.

[George]

Jane and a train.

Nice! 

[George]

Jane IN the train.

That's a great picture, too!

I am home from a tasty brunch and delightful companions.  The main courses were a baked French toast casserole made with bread, eggs, cream cheese, peaches, blueberries, and lots of cinnamon and a spicy Mexican baked egg casserole with bits of sweet potato, taco chips, and other interesting items.

Great picture, Larry, and the brunch menu sounds wonderful!

My son and dil gave me a stuffed kitty with an envelope on the collar. It included a gift certificate for a cat or kitten needing to come home from the pound.

Congrats on the new cat, Laura!

Yay!  I've been hoping you'd follow DR George and me with a rescue animal.
