Great time with family
... I went to WA when Wayne was working the outage. Anthony made a very large roast chicken, sweet potato pie and his whole wheat buns. Dean made Grandma Brandt's rice meatballs with sauerkraut which were a definite hit with us and the guests. We also had roast potatoes and carrots, cole slaw and wine to finish off a delicious Christmas dinner.
A few evenings we had played a game that Porter could play (Uno or Sorry) and then later got a game of ...
