Merry Christmas

It is just after four in the afternoon on what has been a great Christmas Day. We stayed in by ourselves, kept to ourselves and burned up former pieces of the house. Above you can see part of a post that was part of our wheel chair ramp.

Even though we have lived here for over three years, this is our first Christmas here at the house. We have always gone to Iowa to be with Susan's family. This year, we stayed put. I know Susan misses seeing her family but it was probably good that we stayed home considering the weather that has been pounding on the mid-west. Lots of ice storms, although I haven't heard any horror stories from Susan's sister.

We still have a dinner to eat at my sisters tonight and then it is back to the real world tomorrow. Fortunately, it's only for three days and then the weekend hits us again and more time off for New Years.

I like the concept of putting off reality as long as you can.
