I'm writing from Mary's guestroom where I'll be sleeping for the next few nights as we have our annual Christmas celebration. I decided to come down today rather than tomorrow just to not have stress. Of course, there was no traffic -- it was an easy trip -- got upgraded to a premium car -- a Crown Victoria no less, my favorite!
Tonight we ordered Italian food and Mary and Emily and I feasted and then we all watched Trains andn Planes and Automobiles that Mary had ordered from Netflix.
Tomorrow (Friday), I'll do some work-work in the morning and then help Mary prepare dinner. We're having meatloaf, mashed potatoes, some kind of corn dish, tomatoes and mozzerella (from Fran), ceasar salad and other things. No one will go hungry. We will exchange gifts and do a cookie exchange. I'll see Meredith, back from Afghanistan who I haven't seen in a year, her husband Dave, and Mary's nephew Matt.
On Saturday, the same group meets again; we have one new guest and we'll do a brunch. I think that's the end of the formal celebration and then whoever hangs around for dinner will get Mary's Lobster Macaroni and Cheese which I've never had. Mary and I might take a drive Saturday night to see the National Christmas tree and other Christmas lights. I'll come home, leaving early Sunday morning and then it's back to the grind.
I have my camera so I'll photograph the delicacies. I will say as a scrabled egg aficionado, Mary's scrambled eggs are the best.

Sounds like great fun with good friends. Enjoy, I know you will,,,Hi to Mary.....Stephanie
Hi to you too Stephanie!
Pat didn't mention that while she's here, there are guys working on screening in my side porch. This morning as she sleeps the electricians are putting in a ceiling fan/light fixture and some switches so Pat's restful weekend is beginning with guys drilling into brick right below her room....
Ok so now I'm awake and I'm feeling as if I like this bed and breakfast. Mary brought me a steaming mug (isn't that how it's always described in bad novels??) of Trader Joe's coffee and even though my glasses were in this room last night, they disappeared and Mary conveniently pointed out that in my little amenities basket is an extra pair of readers which I'm now wearing. The noise, Milo, drilling into brick has no impact on me. Just don't make me get out of bed before my time.
Sounds like you are having a MARY Christmas indeed!
Sounds like a lovely weekend! I would HAVE to sty for the lobster Mac & cheese...that sound yummy!!!
