Well Monday New Year's Day found us once again with a house full of family and neighbors for a delicious traditional meal to start the new year out right and the weather changed dramatically, yeow it 40 here this morning which is quite the change from the past few days.
We did our morning routines that started with the cup of hot tea for me while I gave thanks for another year. Wow I hit the even mark this year as I climb higher to the 8th decade, wow I'm blessed. I lifted up several by name for healing and comfort and so far of the three that has been the most on my list are doing exceptionally well. Joe is even being discharged from the rehab, Paw Paw is doing great and GG sounded very good with her speech back to where it once was. We just need to get her up and moving on her own again.
I started he day with a 8'ish roll out as we were two hours late going to bed from the night before. It was short sleeves and pants at midnight but things changed as a front moved in during the day with some light drizzle and we never saw the sun the whole day. The garden loves this weather except for the cucumber and tomato plants. I may have to cover them tonight with blankets. The leafy greens love the cooler temps and looked like someone gave them a shot of growth hormones. I picked a mess of Swiss chard for Bobby and Katie.
I stayed pretty much in the house helping to clean and get ready for the 4'ish gathering of the crowd. Bobby was bringing his in laws and Kayla for 5 folks, Amy came with her 5 and then Dan and Carol made for a full house whole. Luckily some of us ate out by the TV which didn't require a seat at the table which holds 10 place settings. The grand kiddos ate in the kitchen before most of us decided or got around to filling our plates and bowels with blackeyed pea soup which was delicious. We then loaded up on spare ribs, sauerkraut, kielbasa and Nathan dogs all embedded on the layer of kraut in a huge roaster and then of course smashed taters. I passed on the tatters as I'm trying to cut down on the carbs. I did break down and had a piece of Amy's apple pie which was as good if not better than the ones Nancy bake, Yeow. We had a little adult beverage with some snack foods before eating but not much as the food smelled so good.
We watched some great football or we men did while the women talked away in the kitchen and a couple nap napped on the couch from the late nights activities. We watched a great game between the small Florida school UCF beat the powerhouse in the SEC Auburn which was like a David vs Goliath in a very good game which saw many lead changes and then Georgia came from behind to beat the Sooners in an overtime game. I started on the Clemson vs 'Bama and it didn't look good for the Tigers by half time so it was lights out for me around 10'ish.
Well everyone seems to enjoy the meal and the gathering. It was the first time Katie's dad Bruce and sister Kayla had ever been to our humble abode. Lynn her mom has spent a night with us last year as she visited a convention in the area for one night. We all got along together and enjoyed the food but they left a little before 8 as all had to work early today. I finished up the dishes and cleaned the kitchen while Nancy spoke with her mom. She sounded the best since her misfortune in Miami. Hopefully she will get her self strong enough to begin walking regularly. She mentioned there were a couple offers on her house but a little lower than what she was asking, LATER
On a business note this coming month until the 20th ALL Nutrilite Vitamins and Supplements are BOGO. There is only once place to get these grown and produced in America products and that's through me and my store which is distributed through the Amway Corporation. This special which comes only from me and my team leaders is good until then and if you purchase at least 30 PV's (which is about a hundred bucks) you will receive a reimbursement check for the shipping, also the Bogo's are shipped to you Free at the end of the month; but make your order by the 10th. I know that's a lot of dates but remember for the extra perks order by the 10th. Happy New Year to all and start taking those good vitamins especially the men who need the prostrate supplement. I've been taking it now for years and believe me it works.
