Hey, Baby Sister, Happy Birthday. Makes me feel really old when my little sisters are in their fifties and my girls are in their fourties. Have a great day.
Love, Sue

Happy Birthday, Shirl!

Snowball Christmas Gift Exchange

I found out the "rules" to the fun, interactive gift exchange that is sweeping the nation for families and many office holiday gatherings.

Each participant brings a unisex gift -- wrapped or disguised in some manner. The cost range having been preset by the someone in charge.

All participants are counted and the numbers 1 through however many there are, are put in a hat, of course. Each person draws a number.

#1 goes first in choosing a gift. #2 can then chose a gift, or take the gift #1 had chosen. #3 same option. and so forth. A limit of 2 times or 3 is set on how many times an individual gift can be "stolen" or taken. So one gift can't be passed all night you see. After the last number has his or her turn, #1 gets one more chance.
And then it stops and everyone opens and is mildly amused or ecstatically happy.

Does this sound like a fun thing to try for the holiday gathering?

Christmas

We will be having Christmas on Dec. 1st. Since it is dinner, not brunch, time will be noon. I will be fixing Elk and a roast (for those who won't eat the elk). Janell has volunteered venison. I sent a note to Scott & Lisa and asked them to let Brad know. I will send a note to Deb. Although I doubt she will come because of the distance. Cindy & Tammie have already planned for this day and with their busy schedules, it is hard to reschedule. Will try to get Joe to come and bring some pheasant. Let me know how many will be coming and what you can bring. I will fix potatoes.
Pray for good weather.
Sue

Christmas

Did we set a date for our Elk Christmas dinner? Lisa and Scott need to know ASAP. The 8th works best for us.

Missing book

I'm having a lot of senior moments lately. One of them is that I misplaced the birthday book. I put it away someplace where it would be safe and now I can't remember where it is. I can't tell you the number of times I heard Mom say something like that! So I know I'm missing some November birthdays, etc. I'm sure one of you will fill in the blanks for me.
