All I Want for Christmas is to Perculate

Hope everyone had a good Christmas.  Unfortunately, my sister's husband, Gary, (yes, there are two of us who married Gary's) had a bad fall on the 21st and broke his neck. He fell on cement as he was tying something on to his truck when the strap broke.  He ended up in the hospital but was discharged on Christmas Day and will make a full recovery in time, we are all very thankful it was not worse and it could have been.  It just makes you realize how quickly life can change.  So get well Gary.

We had a very nice Christmas with Mary and Pat.  As you can see, we had very nice paper plate holders which makes it very easy to eat and walk around.  I don't know how many times I walked back into the kitchen with my holder but it was a lot.  There was a lots of awesome food  and I really wanted to test the holder to see how well it worked.  I would recommend having these in the house at all times.

Mary and Pat love to shop at all kinds of places and I had them on a mission to get me an electric coffee perculator.  My mother-in-law swears they make the best coffee.  Well they came thru and surprised us at Christmas with one and my mother-in-law was right.  She is always right.

The kitchen is a work in progress, we are on our third week without a kitchen.  Its getting a little old but Gary is working away everyday.  It just is a big project and hoping it is the biggest one we will have to tackle here.  The blue bathroom will be a piece of cake after this.    Happy 2012.  Margaret
