Andy and I are all set for the festivities. Mike left for Colorado today for eight days to ski with Nate and Adam. The house is clean and decorated and the first guest arrives the 22nd. I think cookie baking is in order pretty shortly after that. The next day Brooks and Carly arrive, that's the 23rd. The twenty-fourth evening we go to church and then out to eat at Spagos (sp?) The 25th we have a large Christmas luncheon and then in the afternoon the guests scatter and go. Brooks is deployed early in January for nine months so prayers will be welcomed.
Life changes so fast any more. It is difficult to keep up. But the activities keep one young and active.
Winston is healing nicely and is off all medication. He did not seem to mind going off all four pain killers and did not get the shakes or have any reaction at all. He's a tough dog. The only thing it did was increase his appetite. He is skinny so he can handle the extra calories.
David has a new dog, Leo. He lost his dog several months ago and finally got over it and found the puppy, Leo. He is spoiling him as he did his other dogs. If you are a dog you would want to belong to David.
Andy has selected his classes at OSU for the next term. He does love to learn. You would have to beat me with a big stick to do what he does at Ohio State. He feels right at home there after all he did teach there a long time ago.
2019 is wedding year for us. Good news about engagement just keeps on keeping on. Andy and I will also celebrate 60 years of marriage in April.
Have a lovely Christmas and may 2019 be exactly right for you.
