We had a great day today, celebrating with friends and talking with family and friends. We gathered at Hardy and Judy's house. It's always good to get together with our square dance bunch. Sandy wasn't feeling well so she is missing from this group photo, but John came bringing a large fruit salad and took her a plate when he left.
One of our friends, Jean, was unable to come down from Indianapolis this season because of problems with healing a broken ankle. She was able to join us virtually through the miracle of FaceTime on an iPad. It was a treat to talk with Jean and see her.
Hardy was able to FaceTime with his daughter, Stacey, too.
Of course one of the things that draws people together is sharing a meal. We had a delicious array of food to enjoy.
Desserts included Judy's pecan pie and Pat's signature sugar free pies. One of these featured lemon pudding with pineapple tidbits and mandarin oranges. The other combined cheesecake pudding topped with cherry pie filling.
Ken and I enjoyed Christmas phone calls with our kids today. Jeff has announced his engagement to Sabrina. Chris and Anara were preparing food for a Norwegian potluck. Ed and Julie and the kids all appeared in a FaceTime call. I find it much easier to understand the kids and relate to them when we can actually see each other. I talked with Aunt Iris and Carol too.
