| Rami and Beth, Ready to Party |
It's 7:30, I have been up since 7:00 and still no one else is up, just me and Cody, the pooch. It's gray outside, wet, still a few piles of snow left but they all should be gone by the end of the day as it's going to be in the 60's, not quite Christmas weather. Just as I started this, Rami came down, got his coffee and we sat talking until 8:30 when both Evie and Marisa got up. Time to get moving, I guess.
Yesterday started with a drive to the local bagel shop to pick up a dozen of my favorite bagels; they seem to be the only bakery that coats both sides of an everything bagel, making it scrumptious. When I got home, Evie was frying up the pea meal bacon that we brought from the Lighthouse Grocery in Chautauqua, a family favorite. Because the boys were still sleeping, she made two breakfast, one for the oldsters and Marisa, then later one for the boys. Nothing like a good breakfast to start the day, bagels, fried eggs, and pea meal bacon.

We spent the rest of the day hanging out with Marisa, mostly, taking Cody for a couple of walks and mid afternoon, taking Marisa and Mitch to Panera's for lunch. They like the macaroni and cheese there. It was very busy like every where at this time of the year, parking lots full, streets jammed with shoppers in a hurry to get to their destinations. I would just as soon stayed home. Beth and Rami, unfortunately, spent a good part of the afternoon shopping in Westport. And Tyler left early afternoon to play his guitar with friends and we never saw him the rest of the day, as he was out till at least 11:00 with friends. Beth and Rami got home from shopping around 4:30, then Beth put together an appetizer to take to a party they were going to that evening at her good friend Nancy's house. And Mitch, too, went out with buddies in the evening, missing dinner. So it was just Evie , Marisa, and me with leftover chicken in tomatillo sauce, and we watched School of Rock with Marisa, the fourth or fifth time for us. It's still fun.

Marisa went to bed around 8:30, tired from her day, and I watched Ohio State beat Notre Dame in the last minute in baskethball, an amazing comeback. Then both Evie and I stayed up to watch the NCAA Women's Volleyball championship game between Penn State and Wisconsin. Evie went to bed mid way but I stayed up to watch Penn State win in four games, their sixth championship. Both teams were amazing to watch, as volleyball has really become a big sport. I got in bed around 11:30, just as Tyler was getting home and Beth and Rami did not get home till 1:00.
Today looks like a Costco day and Rami's sister Letty is coming to stay through Christmas from NYC with her two dogs, making it a full house, especially with three dogs.
