Becky and Al in their dining room during a game of Scrabble. |
That evening, my niece, Allison, her husband, Ryan, and their nine month old son, Ronan, drove down for a visit from Oil City, PA. |
I got up the next morning at 3:00 am in order to catch my flight to Chicago. From Midway airport I took a taxi to the South Shore train station. I boarded the train at 8:30 am (CST) and arrived in South Bend by 10:30 am (EST). Needless to say I was exhausted, but I met my youngest daughter, Grace, at the grocery store to buy what we needed for dinner on Christmas day. We made some preparations for dinner and I went to my hotel early that night.
I spent Christmas day with Grace and her friend Ben cooking, eating, talking, and laughing at Christmas movies and Christmas sitcom episodes. |
When I got back to my hotel I watched the disappointing Ravens vs. Steelers game that ended with a score of Ravens - 27 Steelers - 31.
The next morning I was up early to take the train to Chicago to visit my daughter Rachel.
