Christmas 2021

   December 21, 2021

Christmas is almost here and of course, not really ready.  We're gonna have a quiet one this year for the most part.

Kathy is going to Dallas to be with Rainey as she has to work most of the Holiday weekend but...

Ryan and Liz are flying in for Christmas from California.  With the lockdowns enforced by the governor, Dave & Busters is not busy so he can arrange some time off.  Liz works from home so she is much isn't at a disadvantage.  Of course, Matt, with his huge family herd, is staying home there in McAllen.

While we do sorta miss those great big gatherings, it is beyond what we can physically handle two or three times a year.  In the past, we've had as many as 28 people here for Turkey day and/or Christmas but no more.

One day, Ryan, Liz and Kathy will drive down for the day for a visit.  With Ryan and Liz in California, we just don't know when we will get to see them again.

There is going to be one big hole in our holiday this year.  We lost Phil, Les' brother this fall.  Heart surgery along with pneumonia was just more than his body could handle.  As bad as it is for us, it is hardest on Debbie, Kelly and Kyle.  We hurt for them more than anything.

Whoever is reading this, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  Most anything will beat 2021 but just never know.
