Last night and today, I got to spend some time with my sister and Elizabeth, her oldest daughter - a nice gift at Christmas time. They came up for Elizabeth to take the State Cosmetolgy Exam (she finished her course work in October), so we had dinner last night. My cousin Erma Jean (Mother's sister's daughter who lives in Grove City) joined us, so that was sort of a little "Justice" family Christmas celebration, too. Today I had lunch with Diana and was the second person to congratulate Elizabeth on passing her exam! A nice Christmas present for Elizabeth.
Speaking of family Christmas celebrations, we will have our "Crawford" Christmas here on January 10. It's much easier to get it scheduled in January at a time when Rob's daughters are with him and Melody. They are fun, bright girls and we don't get to see them very often. January also helps keep the focus on time together.
I'm spending lots of time helping our neighbor, Dorothy, move to her new condo. She is really overwhelmed with it all since she and Bob were real collectors. Chris helped, too, and Chris and Jenny got some really nice tools and yard items from her and bought a lovely dinning room set (more Christmas gifts --- for Chris and Jenny and for Dorothy, too). Tomorrow the movers come --- for the second time! I think all the big stuff will be gone then.
Today Pop and I got our Christmas tree amid some snow flurries. Great timing.
One more thing for all of you --- DO NOT get gifts for us. We want your time --- posting on the blog, phone conversations, skyping, etc. That is true for all of you, but in addition, we do plan to spend as much time as we can with Chris and Jenny.
Love you all.
