2020 Christmas Gathering

Dec 14th, 2020

After all these years we are still having Christmas gatherings on the second Saturday of Dec. It isn't always the same home but as we move we still have them. Lots of memories. One in particular at McRae Place was a snowy day. Kim was still living at home and left that evening to go to a Christmas party in Little Chute. I didn't want her to go she did but wasn't gone long at all. 

At this party we were still doing open house 2 till 10. People come in and out as they choose. However as the snow came and came quickly everyone talked about leaving but they didn't leave. Most of the guests lived closed to us. We always have wonderful parties and everyone enjoys them. The next day there was lots of snow. Our front door where the night before people were coming and going was completely blocked. Kimberly went out to see if her car had to be dug out. Sometimes snowed in is fun. I loved it more when the kids were younger. Schools would cancel and we all stayed in. 

Another time Butch actually left the party for a bit to unload a semi at Manger's with Tony. We lived at the time right by the truck stop so Butch ran and picked up Tony and brought him to the party for a bit after they unloaded. McRae Place was closer to everything.

So we just had our party a few nights ago at Pebblestone Circle. The parties always were the neighbors. This time we invited a small group from church. We love to entertain to have people come over and bless them. We normally have the same menu. Tenderloin, potato bake, and whatever they bring since they insisted on bringing a dish to pass. Always good food.

Now its time for shopping. Merry Christmas.
