25. Christmas

Early afternoon. You and Carol shoveled the driveway before nine o'clock this morning, then you napped until eleven. Carol made hamburgers and veggies for lunch, which you had for breakfast. In an hour, you will be on your way to the movie theatre for a private showing to see "Wonder Woman." Kim, Paul, Owen, Brennan, Gayle, Carol and you are going. Cathy and Tod canceled last minute because Tod is having a bad health day. 

 

2145. "Wonder Woman" earned a three out of five, but some scenes were worth a four. We had a good time,  nevertheless. Dinner of short ribs, veggies, salad, potatoes, and yummy ginger cake dessert with caramel sauce topping and a plop of whipped cream on top from 101 Beer Kitchen was excellent. We exchanged gifts, enjoying the time together (I lost to Owen in chess. He played well, and I made three errors which didn't help my cause.) Kim and Paul gave each of us Air Pro earphones, and we each bought ourselves an iPhone 11, which Paul set up for us. 

 

Tomorrow you need to call AAA and have a new battery installed in the 2005 Honda. Kim and Paul tried to talk you into selling it and buy an updated Honda Accord, if not a new one, because of the safety features. Once the year is over, we can better return to this blog's focus, editing "Grandma's Stories" into one book from short story selections in three books. – Ms. Havisham

 

2207. We had a good Christmas afternoon and evening with family.
