Merry Christmas to all the Groupies! God bless all, and may you all have a prosperous New Year!
Woke up to the aftermath of a blizzard, so I need to fire up the snowblower.
Chuckle of the week - my sister and her family are Super paranoid about the virus and had my dad flying in from Fort Myers take a Covid test BEFORE coming. My sister, brother in law, nieces, nephews, & even her grandchildren all had tests as well last week. Now, I’m fine with all that, to each their own but those tests are only a snapshot in time — seems to me that my dad could be exposed at the gas station, the airport/flight, or even the casino he’s staying at while in Minneapolis. Anyways, it made me chuckle. As a result of hearing this we opted out of Christmas Eve with my sisters clan to abide by the governors restrictions (somebody’s got to follow the rules...
)
So, that brings me to the holiday meals:
Christmas Eve, home made stuffed manicotti (with garlic bread of course)
Christmas Day home made Chili and Caesar salad
New Years Day: Spiral sliced Ham, Scalloped potatoes, & Green Bean Casserole
We’re going to let my Dad come over for Christmas Day for 3 hours before he has to fly home so that we won’t cross contaminate with my sisters family as we see no reason to bother with those tests (especially after reading about Elon Musks experience..)
Oh, and I agree with Kat on the casino buffets! We did those for years on Thanksgiving before our daughter came along...
Still, I'm glad we are here and as long as people follow the rules, I think things will go well. Is it normal for the tv stations to be almost unwatchable because of the artifacts and stuttering? We may be too far from the source. I joked with my wife we must have ticked off the person assigning the rooms.
