Christmas 2008

Very quiet, relaxing day.

We all got together today for dinner - sister, brother-in-law, brother, sister-in-law, and Aunt S.

My sister fixed a great dinner - Duck L'Orange, wild and saffron rice, acorn squash, sparkling wine.

A couple token gifts to pass around.

Everybody else went into DC to help out at the homeless shelter. I stayed in Reston and got some reading done.

All the 'kids' are elsewhere this year - Tokyo, Chicago, San Diego.

Don't tell them I said so - but it was nice having an 'adults only' Christmas. I miss the kids and grand kids - but it was a really nice, quiet, relaxing day.

Tomorrow I fly back to Raleigh. Need to be at the Metro station by around 0900 or so.
