Christmas time's a'coming! Can't wait until tomorrow to see all of you. Some of the Blanchard crew are feeling poorly. Clay missed school on Wednesday with fever and sore throat, Amber missed yesterday and will probably miss today with a fever (around 101) and head congestion. Me - well, I just can't talk. I went back to my GP in Edenton and she changed my asthma meds. In the event that they are causing the hoarseness Who knows? But I'm tired of not singing! or at least sounding like a frog! Merry Christmas to all, we'll miss those of you who can't be at Margaret's.

For Barry: Amber and I will be at the Crown Plaza from the 22nd through the 24th, come by and visit us.

To answer Christie's question, I guess we'll try to eat around 1 PM.

To answer your other question, Christie, view my blog on Nobember 26.
Every one has responded as to what they'll be bringing. Can anyone think of anything else that we might need?

Michelle is feeling under the weather. Gene talked to Chris, from what I understand, she had fluid around her heart and I don't know much more. I'll talk to her tomorrow.

Looking forward to seeing all Saturday.

So, exactly.....

So, exactly what time are we supposed to eat? We'll have to leave around 4:00 b/c Corey's has the Mistletoe Ball that night. Of course, I didn't know anything about it until 2 weeks ago!

What's on the menu??

Christie

I agree with you Joyce, what more could we want or need? I'm glad to here that you'll bring sweet potatoes; I had thought that I'd cook some if no one else mentioned them. The only thing missing is collards, but I don't think anyone in our generation wants to do that much work. I know I don't. I think it's too much for Dad anymore. We're looking forward to seeing everyone.

I am also trying to get Ben and Barry's address. Please.

Christy, This is crazy, but for some reason I don't have Terri's address or her home phone number. Would you please give it to me. I left a message on her cell phone today about this weekend. I've tried to call your dad but have not reached him or Carol. It did not give me an answer so I couldn't leave a message. See you this weekend.

Michelle's grandfather passed away this morning. Beverly, Michelle's mother, was with him. Michelle had spent the night last night, but had to go home for Chris to go to work. She was upset that she was not there.
Keep her and the family in your prayers. Thanks. Margaret
