That was a whirlwind trip! Safe travels. You'll know those roads very well after your multiple trips.

Wow! What a quick trip with all that driving! Seems like you will have spent as many days driving as you did up north? But worth the family holiday time, I am sure!

Christmas celebrated with the kids last night. Grocery dinner was only okay. It wasn't mama's cooking but mama didn't need to do much more than warm it up! Presents were opened, games were played, it was fun.

DSD didn't end up staying at our Air Bnb after all but came over for the Christmas festivities. At least she wasn't pissy! She invited a friend to join in which was fine. Got to meet DS2s boyfriend. Seems like a nice chap.

Laundry done and bags mostly packed. We will go out for pizza tonight with DSD. DS2 and DS3 are already gone, DC1 still hanging out with us but won't do pizza with us because unfortunately DSDs aunt and uncle will be joining us and she talks nonstop and is just a lot!

Will go to bed early with a 5am departure planned. 13 plus hours to our first stop which is Chattanooga. Looking forward to being back in FL. Thankfully we should miss the snow that is supposed to start Sunday.

Tee Tee tell your DH that Gorilla Glue works best. Epoxy - not so much. ds

It sounds like a lovely low drama day at your parent's home yesterday. I think you all needed that. And I agree, hosting is exhausting. Best to pass it to our children if/when we can or figure out how to lighten the load as Paula did.

Ditto a chuckle over you gluing your shoes together. My DH does that until they no longer hold...

It will all work out - you will see! (Says she who never sleeps the night before a trip ;))

DD so glad to hear that things went well with your mom. And yeah all the Christmas prep seems to grow as we age. I think Paula has the right idea - getting stuff ready made from the grocery. You are so lucky to have a brother that really pitches in. Glad the girlfriend got a good view of the family. Enjoy the church event - sounds wonderful.

DS

I sympathize with the issue of finding shoes that work, but I had to laugh as I imagined you gluing your shoes back together. DH has done that, and looked at me and said not only am I a teller of stories, I am a cobbler. Now I will think of you Diane as not only an artist and fancy liver pate maker, but also a cobbler. I hope you find some good comfortable shoes to replace the Rebooks, so you can put your glue away.
