Lazy morning – Took fruit & gifts from Gary Bigler to family. Mother, Mary & Ken out about 3:00 – opened their gifts – Had them all piled in the sugar chest. Mother uncertain whether it belonged to Shenemans or Hildreth.
David picked Dave & Kris up at Old Town N. of Xenia. Made connections with Don. Shorty at Don’s also & he was taking her home too. Haldeman kids all in Irish Aran sweaters. Linda brought them from her trip there.
Gift opening chaotic – Love the chopping block David made me from scraps of Terradise Walnut. Unbreakable Thermos from Kathi & Bob. Homemade stuffing & pancake mix from Karen.
