Last night was the January Erie Club meeting and we had quite a turnout. Expecting 90 and got about 120 and had to put up extra tables. It was horse racing night and we served pizza and salad. We only had a half a pizza left of 25 pies. Alesa brought that home, she loves Hungry Howies pizzas.
Trip Log
Didn't win the $900 million powerball lottery so we'll have to stick with our current plan. The weather has been cooler and it feels good but the traffic is terrible as all the snow birds are coming back and seem to have forgot how to drive, primarily the roundabouts and the golf carts.
Been recovering since our return home. Craig and Janet came up for New Year's Eve and we played pickleball. It felt good to be active again. They all went to bed around 10 but I stayed up and went over to the Gilchrist village neighborhood driveway party.
Great visit up north for the holidays. Got back home about 4:30 today. Watched Saturday night football at Jeff's along with old home movies and Sunday football at Mike's and left Jeff's on Monday Morning. Made reservations in Florence, SC for Monday night. Traffic was very heavy all the way.
We hosted the family Christmas Eve party at Jeff and Danielle's house and everyone had a wonderful time. We started with a ham dinner with plenty of other fixin's.
Danielle is working, the kids are at school and Jeff and Alesa are making a shopping list for Christmas Eve dinner. They asked me to go shopping with them but I declined.
And tomorrow will be 61 and on Christmas Eve it will be 71 here in Pennsylvania. Spent yesterday at Mike's mostly watching football and recovering from the trip.
Had a Christmas party on Thursday night with Alesa's Silver Dragons Dragon Boat club and left Friday morning after 8 and headed north in a light rain. It cleared quickly and we had good weather and traffic as we headed toward Alesa's cousin in McGaheysville, VA. We arrived about 6 in Ft.
Happy Birthday, Alesa. Getting ready for the trip north. We are hosting Christmas Eve at Jeff's for the family so Alesa has made sock cookies for a decorating contest. She was worried about cutting out a couple dozen pair of sock cookies so I made her a cookie cutter.
Golfed at Sandhill on Sunday. Been golfing only on Sunday for the last month as we are busy with other activities. Craig and Janet stopped over that evening after meeting with their finance guy, our friend Jim Miller the CPA who was a Gannon professor.
