What do you do on the day after Christmas? For me, it was spent on travelling leisurely home from Rives Junction, Michigan. John stopped at 2 different implement lots and stopped to ask questions about a tractor He recently acquired. Christmas day travel was sun shine and no snow. Sorry for those of you that wanted snow. I am so full of food that I will not eat until tomorrow. Carrie had a brunch of sausage gravy and biscuits, fried potatoes, and bacon which we shared near noon.
I have a daughter who loves Christmas and opening presents. We held her off until 3:00 PM. John and I were surprised with tickets to a Pacers's basketball game. The game is for March 28th so you will hear about it when the day comes.They decided on that date because that is the end of John's selling season and the paper work that is done for selling Crop Insurance and right before Spring work begins in our part of the state. Michelle and Matt received from us an 8 piece set of English china and a bird house. We surprised Carrie with a sweatshirt from the University of Michigan. She is a graduate of Purdue so I made her promise to send a picture the first time she wears it, if she will ever wear it.
Christmas dinner's menu consisted of Barbecued short ribs in a sauce, mashed potatoes with the skins on, green bean casserole, corn, and Christmas cookies for desert. The rib sauce consisted of a bottle of barbecue sauce and a can of apple pie filling and cooked all day at 200 degrees. They were so good. The ribs had an apple taste and the apples had a rib taste. Try it if you like.

Good Evening Joyce,
I'm glad yall had a safe trip and back and glad the weather was nice for yall. We still don't have any snow here. LOL. But parts of Arkansas did get some Snow today. It was in some counties to the West of us. Mostly up in the hills. Your brunch sounds yummy. I love to have sausage gravy every once in a while. My Mom brought me some more homemade sausage this morning. A distant relative that lives in Tennessee killed a hog over the Christmas Holidays, and their son works with my Dad and he brought them some. He had brought some to them about a month ago and my Mom gave me 2 packages of it then. I may have to make some this weekend. I'm sure your Daughter will love the Sweatshirt. If it gets cold enough, I'm sure she will wear it. I bet your other Daughter was proud of that China and Birdhouse. I have a China set of dishes that have Poinsetta's on them. I ended up putting them on my bar this year. I finally got my Villages up on Sunday afternoon. Our Christmas Eve Dinner here at our house was wonderful. We all had a great time and ate way too much. LOL. Well, take care my friend and have a great evening. May God Bless You and Yours.
Hugs,
Karen H.
