Merry Christmas

We are waiting to head to the airport to pick up Emily. Thankfully she's the Chicago daughter and not the Denver one - Beth would have been delayed big time after this week's storm and snow. As it is she ended up with many extra shifts, lots of snow to shovel and many hours of overtime.

We're enjoying a restful vacation with Bob. He's been sleeping in, requesting his favorite meals, and working on his applications for grad school. Rob's been puttering in the yard and garden and I've been working on quilting - real vacation time for both of us.

Our camellia bush decidied to bloom big time with all the warm temperatures and rain, and since it sits behind the orchid stand and can't be seen from the house I decided to bring it's beauty indoors. We are also having fun watching our tomotoes grow on the deck this year. There are several quarter-sized tomatoes on and many blossoms.
