We had a very good Christmas Day. Our son’s family came over around 1:00, and we enjoyed watching the grands open gifts.

Happy birthday to my wonderful husband! Right now, he’s riding 57 miles on his bicycle for his 57th birthday. I don’t have a picture of that, so here he is making bread on Christmas Day. He’s a man of many talents. And he makes delicious bread. ~~Rhonda
