Happy birthday, Gen! To my long-time friend – I’ve missed seeing you this past year or so. Hope your day was wonderful, and that the year ahead is full of love and happiness, faith and family! Love you!
Today was our annual Skunk Hollow Christmas. This year we all met at Kathy’s. Her house was so lovely and festive. She is always such a gracious hostess and makes us all comfortable and welcome. We even played a few games – which was fun, because none of us thought we would know how to play and we all did great! This was my ‘prize’!
Colleen brought down a box of the earrings that her granddaughter Alea makes and sells. I bought three delightful pair! They are so cute!
There was so much food. We always have too much. Kathy made chipped ham BBQ and had tea, soft drinks, and hot cider. Gail brought our favorite: Strawberry jello pretzel salad. We had fruit and dip, several kinds of cookies and snacks, including my favorite iced pumpkin chocolate chip (Thanks, Colleen!). We had egg salad and chicken salad and chips with salsa and buffalo chicken dip and cheesy potatoes. And cranberry sauce and other snacks. I know I’m forgetting something but it was all good. We ate all afternoon!
The first batch of photos I took didn’t come out very nice. Every time I tried to take a picture someone took a bite or started to say something.
I did a few other random photos while we were talking and playing games, and Beth took a picture while I was reading.
And here are two pictures of those of us who attended. We sure missed not having Holly and Gwen there. Next time!

Even the sky rejoiced in our beautiful day!
My blessing today was my dear cousins!
