OMC, not enough room for thanks, yet again!
But here’s one for sure.
We are so thankful for a very quiet Christmas. Often we are with our family in Italy, which is always a treat, but we heard from papa’s ex, mama’s good friend, that she asked for a ride home around 3 in the morning!!!!
Gadzooks.
I think they start around 6:30 and play Tombola, a kind of bingo that is really fun, and then there are killer margaritas and starters and the main dinner and then present-giving and opening and before you know it, THREE IN THE MORNING.
Oh, well, it is lots of fun but…a nice quiet dinner was also a treat because our guest was a friend who is just about to get out permanently from a rehab where she has repaired her shattered shoulder.
It’s an amazing place, near our little village, that is PRIMO in rehab care for injuries. And the food is good, too.
Our guest, who is also a neighbor, was sprung for Christmas Eve and day and she’ll be out for good tomorrow. YEA! Back on our street where there will be a street gathering on Saturday.
I shall report from my vantage point.
Mama is making black-eyed peas and cornbread so that everyone will have good luck (and fortune) in 2025.
I told mama she was jumping the gun a bit, but I think those peas will work this close to New Year’s. Crossed paws.
And I’m thankful for all the boxes from Christmas that you kitties can play in on Boxing Day!!! And of course thankful for YOU.
And we love this Blogosphere poster!!!! Love their artists.
