We had a couple of very busy and sad weeks. On December 9th Vern's Mother passed away. We made a 19 hour trip to Iowa in 2 days. When we travel we only drive 5 or 6 hours a day and then rest a day. (We like to take our time.) We ended the trip with driving the last hour in a snow storm. We had been watching the weather, so we left early that morning hoping to miss the snow. We were by DesMoines when the snow started. We were on the go every day we were home. We had the evenings to rest and spend time with Tony, Kathy, Allie, and Eli.
The night before we left Jeff & Micky and the Kids came to Tony's so we could have Christmas. We had a great time and a special visitor showed up. Santa Claus made an early visit to Tony's house. Everyone had a chance to sit on Santa's lap and tell him what we wanted for Christmas. We had so much fun. Thanks Tony for getting everyone there for us.
We took a little more time driving back to Lake Park, 3 days. We were able to miss all the major cities this time during rush hour. It's not fun driving through Atlanta in 5:00 rush hour. We made it to Lake Park without any problems. But Vern and I both ended up the colds. Vern's didn't last very long, but mine is hanging on. I was the lucky one who got the stuffy nose and a bad cough. I coughed so much my ribs hurt and all the muscles in my back and stomach hurt. What a way to spend Christmas. I'm starting to feel a little better, but I tire easy. I did laundry Monday and ended up taking a 3 hour nap. :-) I guess that's not so bad.
We want to wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR. Love to you all.
