Christmas Day 2009

We spent the day with Ed's brother, George, and Kay, our sister-in-law. They live in Port St. Lucie, which is about 80 miles north of Ft. Lauderdale. The drive was about an hour and a half with light traffic on I-95, although it was pretty heavy coming back in the evening.

During the drive and throughout the day, we talked to lots of relatives and friends. That's always a joy!

We got there late morning and started nibbling on deviled eggs, shrimp, and crab. George and Ed had some Kibbe nayeh.

Then we went to look again at a house in the Savannah Club that we like. We're trying not to get our hearts set on it because it's a short sale. However, it's been on the market almost a year and there are no other bids so George thinks we have a good chance. Kay is still really hurting from her back surgeries and complications (She looks good in spite of pain, doesn't she?) so she rested on the sofa and I visited with her while Ed and George made the dinner. How blessed we are to have such wonderful husbands who also cook!

Kay is tired of turkey and ham so we had what sounded good to her. It was a wonderful meal of Filet mignon, baked potatoes, fresh asparagus with bernaise sauce, salad, lime jello salad and a Mrs. Smith's razzleberry pie (yum!).

A lovely table always enhances food.
