Christmas at Dads

This Christmas party was last week, but since Andy and I are driving across the US this week (VA to CA) I wrote this post ahead of time. We are probably driving across the middle-states right now. Those long straight roads...they are a killer. Anyway, this was a Christmas party at my dad and step-mom's house in Virginia. We always have great conversation and good food at their house.

I hope your post-Christmas days are relaxing as the new year approaches. We sure will be glad to make it to California and start relaxing.

Holiday Cheer

Here's a little holiday cheer from me to you.

Andy and I are well on our trip across the country! We packed the moving truck on Saturday and drove (a full day of driving) to outside of Chicago. Now were are here for a few days spending time with Andy's family before we move on. I think we'll start driving again tomorrow (yes on Christmas day, ugh!) afternoon. Our hope is to be in California by New Years.

Have a very Merry Christmas Eve!!

Fourth Of July Party

We spent the holiday at our son and daughter-in-law's annual Fourth Of July party.  They had about 30 people attend, with about half of those being children. The kids had a ball on the giant water slide they set up in the back yard while the adults enjoyed a nice time outside. There was lots of food,  including about fifteen different desserts. I had to try a bite of each dessert and boy did I have a sugar headache the next day.  I really should know better...but it was so good!  Of course we had to bring some leftovers home.

I'll show more of their home in a later post.

At 9:00 PM we all headed to the second floor terrace for fireworks. They have absolutely the best place in Richmond to watch the show! The fireworks are sponsored by the city and set off in the park about 200 yards from their home.  It feels like you can reach out and touch them. I can't even describe how spectacular this is. 

This is our grandson (white shirt) and a friend watching the show.  And.......here are are the fireworks!

I am attending the following parties:

I hope you had a safe and happy Fourth Of July!
