Merry Christmas

  Hope you all had a joyous Christmas.

 The past week has been busy with finishing getting ready for Christmas. Shopping and planning Christmas dinner and breakfast. (Well- Wendy and Mandi anyway).
  We volunteered  Wednesday at a toy collection site in Charlotte. Mandi has done this before and recruited us along. Had a good time mostly spent wrapping gifts.

   Saturday we drove to the mountains by Boone, NC. It was a cold and windy 34. We saw some light snow.  We stopped at a mall as it was to cold for a mountain walk.

 Sunday we drove to our Packer bar. We have been here so long and this was our third trek there- we feel like regulars.
   We skyped with the family in WI on Christmas eve and Christmas morning. We hadn't done that before but will have to do that more. They had gathered at a water park in Wisconsin Dells.
  We did get a nice walk in on Christmas day. Went with Mandi and the doggies. We love the holidays but the good eats and drinks get the best of us.
  Wendy has been busy doing research on our exit plans from here. We had planned to head out on Thursday but that may change. Our grandson (Alex) is driving down from WI so we may stay and visit with him for a day or so.
 If we don't post before then have a Happy New Year and GO Badgers!!!
