Christmas Day 2006

Well it is now the day after Christmas although we didn't go to sleep........zzzzz......It is now January 4. What a long nap!

Christmas was interesting in a quiet sort of way. Kevin and I shared our day with Jennifer and Robert. We had two gift duplicates but none of that could get in the way of the joy Kevin felt when he received his Easy Bake oven! Melvin got high on catnip and took over Carolyn's ottoman tray. Carolyn, Jennifer and Robert received wonderful gifts and even Kevin got some things he wanted (besides the oven!).

After Christmas Mandy and Ella came to visit. We love having the grandkids here. Ella really loved Melvin ..... and Nana, Grandpa Kevin (G-Kev), Aunt Gigi and Uncle Robert (Bobo?).

On December 28 we left for the Twin Cities to visit with Mark and Camille for a couple of days then flew off to Clearwater Florida where I sit now. The beach is among the most beautiful in the US if not in the world. The weather is perfect - about 75, not too hot, not too cold. The water is too cold for me (Lake Superior summer temp) but it is wonderful to wade in and just sit on the beach. Yes, all you envious Yoopers, I know it is rough. But someone from NMU had to come and represent us here at this conference. To be honest, I am going to the conference while G-Kev lounges on the beach reading a novel.
