Merry Christmas from Texas where I'm running my air conditioner..๐ณ๐
ย Have a good day with your grandkids Maddog,ย it's such a great time when they are young, and it goes so fast, so enjoy every minute.ย
ย
I am shortly off to see mine, 26 and 28, it's only a couple of years ago they were as small as yours are.ย
ย
Thanks..๐๐
Yup, their baby pictures are popping up in my social media memories..

Are you all getting over Christmas now.
We're having a rest day, thoroughly deserved.
Hub did all the cooking, so I'm doing it for him today. He needs a good deserved rest!
Have a good weekend everyone xx

ย Hiya Mags, sounds like you had a good Christmas.ย
We are off out for a family meal soon, nine of us, I usually put on a buffet between Christmas and New Year, but tbh, it's hard work, as bad as cooking a big Christmas dinner, which I did for family till a couple of years ago, now lovely family do it for us ...which is great.
Anyway, instead of buffet, we are all going out for tapas, which everyone enjoys.
We just came back from the shopping centre, it was absolutely crazy, got what I wanted quickly and came back home.

ย Hi Sylย
Glad you had a great Christmas too.ย Enjoy your meal out.
Yes as we get older cooking is harder now.ย ย Easier to go out for tapas.ย ย I'm sure you will have a lovely night.
Enjoyย
