Tom, Karen and family should arrive before noon today, and then around 5 pm we will all gather at Bill and Kim's for our Christmas celebration. We are all bringing an appetizer to share, and Santa will arrive around 6:30. Just all being together will be the best present for me.
I need to prepare that appetizer for this evening, but other than that I'm pretty much ready. I did a little shopping for groceries yesterday when I went to pick up my prescription at the clinic. I was shocked to find only a small organic pint container or fresh cranberries. I expected to find a bag of them about 4 times as much for the price I paid for the pint of organic. But that was all they had. I guess you can only find them at Thanksgiving. I only want them for stringing along with popcorn for the birds. I sure hope the birds like the organic ones!
Last night I went out at 8:20 to watch Doug (my son-in-law) play in the Alumni Hockey game at the new Coon Rapids Ice Center. His mom and dad, his family, and Jim and Ann also came to watch. Matthew was so funny....yelling at his dad to hustle!! and Nicole and Allie both claimed they were going to have to have a post game discussion with him on the way home. But even though they were critical of his play, his team won 18 to 9. Yes that is a hockey score!! I guess several of the teams were older than Doug, both teams had a lot of 2011 and 2010 alumni. The Coon Rapids Mayor, who graduated in 1976 was the oldest, and he was on the winning team, and they even let him score. Fun to watch!
Looks like we missed the snow they thought we would get last night, and 45 degrees for tomorrow, but 2012 it's going to get cold. Maybe we will actually have winter.
Please say some prayers for Sonya Driste her cancer may be back too! She had a PET scan yesterday. Lottie Virnig has her second round of chemo today, and cousin Louie is always in need of those prayers too. Don't forget me too! Love and prayers, m
