The night before the night before Christmas

To Torrance and cousin Joe's yesterday evening; I'll be here through Friday. The kids brought me down and stayed for dinner: enchiladas and tamales and a green salad, preceded by chips, dips, etc. etc. etc. It was all delicious, as usual, and anyone who went away hungry has only him- or herself to blame. We were nine at table: Joe, Debbie, son Alan and wife Elizabeth, cousin Sue, my 88-year-old aunt, Marie (Joe and Sue's mom and my mom's sister), Fred, Jen, Shannon, Courtney and me.

My auntie and my granddaughters. My mother died when my sons were very young, so I'm happy to have Shannon and Courtney be with her sister, even for these brief visits.
