Year Five.

Folks,

Today marks year 5 doing this blog. Tomorrow we will be starting year six. You folks, with all of your contributions, have most certainly done a great job keeping all this going for all these years.

For the record, I did not get a blog posted yesterday.

Bernadette served her traditional Christmas dinner at midnight last night (Christmas eve) to all of her relatives living in our compound inclusive of our helpers and her sisters husbands siblings and their families and a few others too. There were about 60 total. For the evening leading to midnight, they played a lot of games with the kids, did a gift exchange, etc.

Merry Christmas to each and everyone of you.

Gary
