Boxing Day

Yes, today is. And check out EC's take on it. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

What a neat idea; a day to rest and recuperate from the fun of hosting 25 for turkey and ham dinner. The turkey and ham were OK; it was all the candy and goodies that I asked people not to bring! I know I gained a little this week; weigh-in on Monday will be rough!

Here, today, we slept in, except for John and Ethan. Ethan had a plane to catch at oh-God-hundred. Really; they were up at 4. He flew down to Dallas for the Texas Wing Winter Encampment (Civil Air Patrol.) If you check the Cadet Staff list, under Medical, that's our boy, Officer In Charge. No, we're not proud. When he returns from there, he'll be leaving home. -sniff- He'll be moving to Wisconsin Air Academy, to work on their Cadet Staff. From there, in April, he'll be off to Army Basic Training.

Then Jay brought the JP4lings over, to see John's parents again, before they went home. It was good, as always, to see them playing and laughing. The kids were cute, too.

Now the dishes are all, finally, clean and put away. We've had naps and computer time, so we're off to treat ourselves to a dinner where someone brings us the food. Happy Boxing Day!
