Jean & I had a really special Christmas Eve this year. We had five close friends over for a lunch of Jean's favorite finger foods, and everything was exceptional! We had bacon wrapped water chestnuts, little smokies cooked in currant jelly and mustard, jalapeños stuffed with a cream cheese and sausage mixture, then wrapped in a half a slice of bacon, a cheese tray, a pickle tray, little ham sandwiches, spinach dip/w Hawaiian bread, and a red grape salad. For dessert we had a home made Red Velvet cake.
A time of reflecting, and resting came next. Then Jean and I opened a few presents, and we really racked up! A box of pink & green mints from Sally Lane's Candy Farm, two calendars, a hand painted Mrs. Butterworth bottle, and the piece de resistance: tickets for two to see the eagles, and dinner on the boat.
The older we get, the more we enjoy living in this community. I have to make my living in metropolitan areas, but, by golly, my home is in Paris, Tennessee, and it always will be!
