Days 107 - 111

Wednesday – Sunday, December 29, 2010 – January 2, 2011. . .

            Full days. . .

Gifts for our 37^th wedding anniversary on the 29^th included a blizzard and the arrival of Daughter and Son-in-Law; them on the interstate for 7 hours (instead of 2) with My Guy and Son; 17 inches of snow; a grateful time around the dinner table, cozy fire in the wood-burning stove, all 8 of us together.

Despite our delayed reunion and being snowed in for one day, we did our typical jam-packed time. . . “Christmas” on the 30^th; games of Clue, chess; the Nancy Drew Movie (a new favorite of mine); sledding and snowball throwing; bowling; yummy food; bookstore visits; staying up until midnight on the 31^st, Mountain Time, and banging pots and pans outdoors, Granddaughter tooting her trumpet.

Drive home on the 1^st, back to cold rain and regular life with new treasures: two paintings, one each by the Grands; my very own DVD of A&E’s Pride and Prejudice; a John Donne book of poems; a poster of text messaging shorthand (research for the story).

And this all may be FMTYEWTK –Far More Than You Ever Wanted to Know.  =)
