Sunday Brunch

As you all know, my family has been having a big Christmas bash the Saturday after Christmas every year for decades. My mother's whole extended family always attends. This year, however, my Uncle Ted, Aunt Kathy and their boys, from upstate New York, are not able to make it. I'm sure it just won't be the same without them. Ted certainly has a way of making his presence known, the boys are two of the leading competitors in our games of Tonk, and Kathy's sweet smile and voice are always so welcoming. We were able to meet with them for brunch last Sunday at a local restaurant, one of my grandfather's favorite hangouts! We had a nice meal, were able to relax and catch up with one another. I suppose any time is better than no time, but we will miss them at this year's gathering. Wishing them a wonderful New Year, and sending all our love!

Pap & Jeanne. Yes, Jeanne, after 20 years of marriage, I'd probably be trying to inch away from him too!
Ted and Kathy, on the other hand, still seem to like each other after 20+ years of marriage!
