Happy Christmas Eve Andy. Dolan is home, :-). And Jen is coming over soon with Joel. we are making the antipasta to bring to my Mom’s/sister’s later then picking up the Italian pastry and the calimari. mmmmmmmm. And we are going to set the table for tomorrow so it will be ready for our Christmas breakfast in Jewish tradition in honor of Skipp’s upbringing – he was raised Jewish. By birth, as you know, he is Blackfoot Indian. He often says, “I am the only Jewish-Indian you will ever meet!! so we will have bagels with cream cheese, smoked salmon, lox, mackarel, red onion. I just have a teeny bit of the smoked salmon. The rest is not my “cup of tea”. I have the most delicious clementines and banana bread and salted pecans too. It will be yummy. For dinner, later, around 5ish, it is a turkey breast, stuffing, roasted brussel sprouts and butternut squash, and we already made two quiches, assorted pies and brownies and candies, wine, sambucca and eggnog w/brandy. Wow, We are very blessed. “Merry Christmas ”

Love you
Gail
peace and hope…..
