The Best Laid Plans

As I mentioned in my previous post our Christmas Eve party with my brothers was cancelled due to my SIL not feeling well with a cold. 

So that night we went to Downtown Plymouth to walk around the park instead.  

Every year they have a beautiful, life-sized nativity scene set up. 

And all the walkways are lined with decorated Christmas trees that are sponsored by the different businesses. 

Most of the business were closed including the restaurants. We managed to find a bar and grill that was open. The food was mediocre at best, but the service was good, and we left the server a big tip for having to work that night! 

The night wasn't a total bust though! Yum! 

I also said on my last post that Chris was on a plane on his way here but that was an unintentional lie! He was supposed to be on the plane but apparently Delt@ had trouble issuing him a boarding pass, so he had to reschedule his flight for the next day and called and let us know on his way back home. Ugh! 

The following day there were the same issues. He couldn't get a boarding pass online so he drove to the airport, where they still couldn't issue him a pass! So he was not able to fly that day either!

Needless to say, he will be flying free for the next year! 

Apparently, they finally got it straightened out. He should be coming into town sometime this week in time for Maxwell's 5th birthday party on Saturday.  

So we still went ahead with our little family Christmas on Monday with Shauna, Brad and the boys. Once again, I didn't take any pictures! 

On Wednesday, Rich's sister Judy, who lives in South Carolina and was spending Christmas with her daughter came to stay one night with us before having to fly out on Thursday.  Her daughter and husband and two boys stayed for pizza, and Shauna and the boys came too. To make room in the driveway for everyone's cars, Rich parked my car in the street. 

And of course, keeping with the mess this holiday has been so far, the neighbor across the street hit it while backing out of his driveway! 

It's not a very big ding, but Rich had to pull it out a little so we could open the door. Guess I'll be calling our insurance company! I'm thankful for an honest neighbor, though. He came to the door to tell us, gave us all the information we needed for our insurance company. He could have just driven away and never told us and we would never have known who hit our car.  There was not damage to his bumper at all. So kudos to him. 

New Year's Eve we stayed home and as usual we were asleep by midnight. I only woke briefly when gunshots or fireworks were going off outside and a few people sent messages. Please don't envy my wild and crazy life!!

Kate hired a new person at work, and she will be training her for the next two weeks. I will be working Tue-Fri 3-6 both weeks so she can train during the day shift. 

That is all for now. Saturday Maxwell turns 5 years old! How time flies! 

I wish you all a happy, healthy and blessed 2022! Thank you for reading!

Until the next time stay safe and well my friends!
