The last of the turkey, noodles, deviled eggs, and dressing have been eaten. The last of the pies are gone too. The only dish I wish I had more of is my Momma’s slaw. We all just love it and it goes quickly. I’m not sure I’ll be ready for more turkey by Christmastime even. When you have a small family, you eat turkey forever.
Snow last night and I wasn’t the only one feeling festive!
Dharma LOVES cold weather. While one might think it would be harder on her stiff joints, it makes her frisky instead.
The ole’ girl was ready to go back outside before the ice on her back was gone — even with Hugo helping out. 😉
My cousin Sherry visited before the snow hit…
We look soooo much alike, don’t you think? 😉
We reminisced about family gatherings from long ago. Her Dad was my Dad’s brother — and her Mom and mine were very good friends. That meant we visited their place quite often on Sunday afternoons — and they were at our house at various times too. Mom thought Sherry and her sister, Debra, were wild. I’m sure Aunt Irene thought the same thing about me and my brother. 🙂
Mom loves telling the story that I gave Sherry my brother’s coin collection because she cried. Ole’ Scott checked dates and put nickels, dimes, and quarters into books. I popped the money out of those slots and sent it all home with my bawling cousin.
It’s back to work tomorrow for most people.
But for Dharma, it will be more grunting to go outside. ARG!
Here’s hoping you and yours had a fabulous holiday. Christmas is right around the corner! 🎄
