We had a late start (6:30 am) off to the upper peninsula - but it was a nice ride - just a little bit of rain and snow. When we arrived at the house nobody was home so we drove on over to the Marquette County Medical Care Facility to see everyone. Jim the Entertainer was entertaining his heart out for 75 or so elderly patients. Jim, although a bit corny, has a true sense of what Jesus told us to do in loving others. Every person felt loved and cared for by Jim. He sang Christmas songs and songs of 'ol to brighten the spirits of everyone. He invited folks to sing along and Adam and Isaac were a big hit.
We said "see you soon" to Grandpa and headed back home for a lovely dinner made by Grandma and Carol. We had Torte Caire, Veggie Pizza, Ham Balls, vegetables, gum drop bread, and saffron bread. For dessert we had peanut butter and chocolate frozen dessert - it is my FAVORITE! How am I going to fit into that bridesmaid dress? Later we exchanged gifts and spent time with each other. Dad received a beautiful globe made out of gem stones from Linda - it was really unique. Sara made me a beautiful gift basket with markers, a cookbook, a glass box, lip gloss, hand butter, and a beautiful set of pearl earrings. It was so wonderful!
We are all so glad to be here with our family.
