... and happy holidays. As in the 'holiday tree' decorated with politically correct ornaments in the President's house in Washington, DC. So generic and dull it will not offend anyone of any political or religious persuasion.
Went in to work at 6 till noon on Thursday, then loaded up and left home, to drive in the steady drizzle to TN. It was raining pretty hard in middle GA, to the point of flash flood warnings in low-lying areas. And there on Georgia's 'west coast', with the Chattahoochee River over-running the riverbank and encroaching along the edges of private property in the areas of residential homes. When the driver was deciding on the route to TN, we discovered that places along Highway 27 were underwater, so driving the Interstate was the only option. Uneventful trip, though it does get tedious being stuck in an uncomfortable vehicle for four hours.
After a filling meal, and pleasant company with the in-laws, we went up the mountain to look at colorful holiday lights. Riding around the well-to-do neighborhoods and seeing homes decorated to the n'th degree, with twinkling srtings of lights outlining roof and gables, gaily hung wreaths on every door and window. Glancing out through the winter-bare trees along the streets winding along the brow of Lookout Mtn., down in the valley at streets lights and homes in the city, appearing from the distance to look as if the thousands of lights were strung together chain-like.
We've eaten the traditional sausage/cheese/egg casserole for breakfast, opened gifts, and thinking about a nap before heading out, back to middle GA. So naturally it is raining cats and dogs again.
We've enjoyed good food and good company, lots of holiday cheer. Back to the real world on Saturday: to be at work at 6 again, replacing people who had a few more vaca. days to use up.
Hope your holiday has been one of family togetherness and good memories.
