12-27-2013 It's Between...Christmas and New Year's

After Christmas....

it's time to clean the left overs from the refrigerator;
go through the Christmas cards and letters (love them)
  checking for new addresses, photos
adding appointments and social events to the 2014 
    calendar;
work on year-end financials.

I actually cooked a meal today...roast, potatoes and carrots, and Red Lobster biscuits to share with Evelyn and Gary.  They added corn to the menu.

After the supper we watched "Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou?".  Gary and Evelyn had never seen it.  There were lots of laughs.

Then...Evelyn cut a gooseberry pie, served it with ice cream, bringing on a silent promise to myself..."cut down on desserts!"  Of course this will last until the next social event!  
The rain lasted until mid-day.  The total accumulation was 1.75 inch.  This is the first rain I remember experiencing in the month of December.  (This is our seventh December since retirement.)
