Christmas Notes

No sleep

Waking up with the babies

Staying up late with my cousins

Lots of drinking

Almost as much eating: cookies, candy, green beans, cookies, coffee, this morning we all pitched in and cooked a feast of breakfast tacos

Stories: On the morning of my mother's wedding her brothers were on a boat and off one. He wanted to see what the highest speed was that he could jump off before it really hurt. After the wedding my mom got an MG with a convertible top. Her brothers took it out on the highway and with one sitting on the back of the car they would switch lanes and try to throw each other off. In high school my cousin fell ojk;ff the back of a car and into a coma. She spent a week in ICU. She's all better now. "How's work Brenda?" Ringworm (is a hug that follows you home) running havoc in my room. Grandfather's there in spirit and a champagne toast to family in the morning.
