Happy New Year

We have so enjoyed all the family gatherings over the holidays. We spent New Year's Day with Kuzzin Bubba and his Momma. As always, that was quite entertaining! Of course, there was plenty of great food, fellowship, fun and games. There were more than 100 in attendance, which may seem like a large crowd to some. However, last year I believe there were 130, so I think there were many who were unable to be there this year. We missed them, but it was, never the less, a very good time. I am very thankful for our family!



Here's Wally, wearing the "wild card" Chicken Hat! He had the option to exercise the power of the wild card and take a gift from anyone present IF he was willing to meet the requirements of the Wild Card Option. He chose to do so, and took a set of pliers from one of the young men. Of course, the person from which he took the pliers got to keep the Chicken Hat. Both seemed very pleased with the trade.



We have just one more family party to go. We'll be celebrating with the Mann family on Saturday. I'm hoping that all of them will make it. We don't live so very far apart, but it seems that we only see one another about twice a year, so we're looking forward to a good visit.

Happy New Year!
