jpgrI know I've been bad and haven't posted in weeks, but things were a bit mad here. We've had company from 12/18 through just yesterday so I really haven't had time.
Things were a bit mad with comings and goings. The original plan was 14 people for Christmas dinner (just 2 brothers and their familes) but my one brother's flight was canceled so he didn't make it until the day my other brother was leaving.
Christmas Day was supposed to be golf day. It's become a tradition when we have family down. The course is closed but my dad borrows carts from friends and they go out. Because of this, it was decided that everyone would oupen one present Christmas Eve and save the rest for after golf. My present? A 19" LCD monitor from one of my sisters. I was so ready to hook it up then and there but decided to wait until they golfed. So I wake up and I hear voices when I shouldn't. Why? It was raining and therefore no golf. So, we opened presents instead. My one nephew got me a book of photos of the Beatles, his brother got me a small calendar of Ireland, the oldest brother got me a lavender candle and their sister got me a lavender package including 2 little votive candles, a sachet, and a room atomizer. Nah, they don't know me at all. My other brother (who couldn't make it) got me a t-shirt from the Hard Rock Cafe in Instanbul! How cool is that? My folks got me this real pretty tan long-sleeved shirt that I hope to find a time to wear.
On a side note, while talking with Co I wanted to know how Luke liked his present of a sonic screwdriver. She said he was running about the house and would not put it down. I just wish I could have seen his face.
The following day some of us went down to Miami because one of my nephews had never been and wanted to go. We went to the Villa Vizcaya which was built in the early 1900s and was influenced by Italian villas. We then walked about South Beach which was kinda cool. I hope to finish off my roll of film soon so I can post some pics.
I hope everyone had a great holiday and I hope to be back to the regular postings next week!
