Holzs Arrive, the Fabulous Six Together Again

After Bean Bag



Scanning Old Photos
Paul stayed until about 10:00, then took off for Lloyd and Vi's.  It was a great visit and he's really a good guy, someone I hope we can see more often.  Walt and I went off to TOPs to get groceries, corn, the stuffing and gravy mixes for the turkey, did it in record time, and by the time we got back, Linda and Rich were here.  It was a great day to be outside, so we had lunch of dogs and black bean soup, then took it easy for awhile as I worked on scanning some of the photos that Patsi and Linda brought, mostly of Mom and Dad, but some of us when we were young.  I will have to do more today  before Els heads back Wednesday morning early.

The Bro's
We then took a long booze cruise, rough going towards the north, but nice and calm and pleasant as we headed around Long Point, towards Bemus.  We then came back for a couple of games of bean bag, our favorite yard game, and Evie and I were paired, an unbeatable duo I might add, and we won handily the games we played, no braggadocio here!  We then had the turkey from the Lighthouse grocery.  By the time we bought it, the 14 pound turkey was down to 7 lbs, 2.99 a pound, but it was more than enough, could feed probably ten if need be, eight easily, and for the six of us, there's lots of leftovers.  We were so full that we all went for a short walk through the Woodlawn neighborhood, then came back, and sat around talking till 11:30 rather than playing games.  We had lots of laughs, I was disabused of some family myths, and we went to bed, tired but it was a good day.
