Wednesday 12/24. All the slush turned to ice on Monday and has stayed very slick. No melting yet as the temperature hovers right around freezing.
We made our Christmas visit to Larry and Elsie on Monday, but even on the frozen road, Miss Kitty did great with her ice chains.
Tuesday was a nice lazy day spent mainly reading books, and JB baked scones. A double batch so he could take some to Elsie on his way Down There on Wednesday.
JB left about 9:00 am with three gas cans to fill, a few groceries to get for Christmas Eve snacking and some errands to run. While he was gone I gave the deer their Christmas dinner of alfalfa pellets, as their dish was empty again. Then baked cookies and just barely had all everything cleaned up by the time JB arrived back home at 2:30.
I grew up opening presents on Christmas Eve and stockings on Christmas morning, but since it is just the two of us Up Here I like to make it last as long as possible. So Christmas Eve we had a dinner of summer sausage, ham, cheeses and chips, then watched The Lone Ranger. I love Johnny Depp movies and this was no disappointment, despite the reviews. Fantastic!!
Thursday 12/25. Christmas!! My favorite day of the year and, really, not just because of the presents (I love presents!), but because of the real meaning of the day. A true celebration of love.
And a beautiful, sunny day it was, too. The mountains were hiding in the morning and a few clouds floated over to the south, but the sun shone all day.
Friday 12/26. This morning is 28 with an icy blue sky. Tomorrow is our 45th wedding anniversary. My how the time flies. . .
Thank you all for the Christmas wishes!!
