Family Christmas ~Saying Goodbye ~How We Got Home ~New Years Eve ~How We Celebrated

I just loved early mornings with the family.
I’d come downstairs early. Our son-in-law was making coffee.
I’d unload the dishwasher before Mama came down with the baby.
This was one of our last mornings there.

So…you all have seen the news about Holiday Travel.
We were planning to come home on Tuesday,
but our flight was delayed… three times.
We would no longer make our connection in Mpls,
so we had the option to re-book our flight.

The following day, three more delays, with no option to re-book.
So off to the airport we went. TSA went smoothly, despite the long lines.
We had a little time to relax before heading to our gate.

After waiting for the flight crew,
we were finally on our way.

It was a long day, with a couple more delays.
Our friends picked us up in the frigid cold…
we walked in our house at 9:30 pm.

After being gone for three weeks, there was no food in our house.
Hubby and I went to the supermarket early the next morning,
just to get bread to make toast…along with several other items.
.
These Christmas Bouquets were on sale, so of course
we had to get one to bring some cheer into our kitchen.

Our Friday Night Friends.
We have been going out every Friday for several years.
And during the Pandemic we enjoyed a Zoom Happy Hour.
It was a blessing that we were able
to gather for New Years Eve Dinner, in person.

Everyone brought a dish to share and we enjoyed a tasty meal.
After dinner, our hostess invited us to Sit Soft…
So we all cozied up on their sectional to watch the Ball Drop.

Christmas and New Years are now a Memory.
I hope you were able to spend time with family and friends.

Blessings for Good Health,
Prosperity, and Happiness in the New Year. 

Take care,
~Natalie
