A Short Note

Here it is our Christmas Day and everyone else's Christmas Eve. It is almost 6:30 in the morning, and we promised to be back with the kids by 8 to open gifts with them. Sue is still asleep, and I had hoped to be, but I didn't have a great night — again!

But we had a pleasant Eve over there. We munched, talked and played a few games. Then, I scraped the ice off the car for the drive home. Yes, sorry to say that we did have freezing rain, but it could have been worse and gone on for longer than it did.

The Mexican lasagna ↑ has been pre-cooked and is already over there, and I picked up the apple pies from the church in Ashton ↓ so dinner will just take warming up whenever we choose to have it.

In the meantime, I leave you with several composites by Sue of our evening at the Mill, which is what I most wanted to post today.




Enjoy your Christmas Eve and Day wherever you are and whenever and however you celebrate the season.

Nice mélange' (I think that's the word)of tastes, Italian and Mexican! Then good ole American Apple Pie! Love the collages, as well as the little church. Have a great Christmas celebration, whenever you do so!

I would love some of that Mexican lasagna! It sounds like a lovely family gathering; before we had littles, we would always play board games on the Eve. However, now everyone is in bed early!

Glad you made it home safely and enjoy your Christmas Day. No white Christmas or snow in NH. Sue's collage were lovely.

We were on your schedule this year, celebrating Christmas morning on Christmas Eve (then heading home from the kids on "real" Christmas morning. What a lovely collection of scenes from the Mill and beyond!
