We had a great Christmas... Sure we had presents and lots of food but we also had lots of family. 45 family members made it. and not a single soul was killed, bloodied or jailed.
Diana and I have been married for 55 years, had 4 children who have produced 12 grand children who have produced to date 22 great grandchildren with number 23 coming about the first of March.
A daughter and spouse who live in western Montana could not come. Neither could their daughter and husband who live in Fairfax Vermont.
A grand daughter's other half could not come since he travels around doing welding on ships and he had to head back to the Norfolk VA area.
I have to go to very distant cousins to find any family member older than I am. Other wise I am the oldest surviving member of my whole clan. It makes me tired just thinking about it...
