Saturday morning the wife packed the kids and we braved the weather for our long Journey to Kenmare, ND. The trip was good and other then a very strong Northwest wind the weather was cooperative. Of course the strong wind and truck loaded with goodies resulted in only 14 mpg on the way up. It as a very strong wind though, so good chance we will have better mileage on the way back.
We spent Saturday evening visiting with the family and on Sunday we went to a late morning church service in Trinity Lutheran Church in Tolley, ND. It was really great to see a full church as the Sunday School children put on the service. We came back and I was able to watch football all day. Of course my Dolphins lost their game to New England which I should have expected, but for some reason I thought they would make a game of it. In the evening we went out to Coulee to visit with the Kings as most of them were back to spend Christmas together. We were only out there a few hours, but I know I could have stayed until the early morning and visited. We promised to visit Paul and Kim on our next trip down to the Minneapolis area.
We made it back home to see the Redskins pull away from the Vikings in the fourth quarter. It was a bad day for my football teams, but a good day for visiting family.
Today is Christmas Eve and all the children are excited to open their gifts and I am excited to see their face when they do. I have to finish charging my phone so I can make all my phone calls this evening to wish our family a Merry Christmas.
Of course all of this is related to the blog because I don’t think I have stopped eating since I walked in the door to Grandma’s house. It will take a lot of work to get all of this weight off
