Christmas Eve 2014 - Walking Athena
Dad was on my mind a lot tonight. I walked Athena by the cemetery and took a snapshot of the mausoleum where he's buried, albeit it was quite a distance from where I snapped the shot. The above image was made by enlarging the dot that was the mausoleum and then running the photo through a computer generated filter. The walk we took was beautiful. The temperature was mild and there was the anticipation that precedes Christmas in the air. The mausoleum looked like a distance light in the darkness which is a theme that seems quite appropriate for tonight.
Christmas Eve 2014 - Making Dinner
I made turkey noodle hotdish for dinner. The ingredients include macaroni, cream of mushroom soup, corn, and, of course, ground turkey. It gets topped off with lots of cheddar when served up. I didn't sing this year but Dale did. The service was earlier than last year's, 7 to be exact. Dale's call was 6:00. I wanted to make something easy since we'd be eating early. This fit the bill. It's also a wonderful comfort food. After finishing my egg nog I made a Tanquerey martini. I listed to Cyndi Lauper and Ed Ames while cooking. The Ed Ames album brought me right back to living room of the house on Stevens.
Christmas Eve 2014 - Egg Nog
Had some more egg nog today while getting dinner started. Unlike yesterday, this serving had bourbon in it. Quite smooth.
Christmas Eve 2014 - Athena
I've believe that angels really do walk the earth. although many of them don't look the way people expect them to. Athena, my Christmas angel, thanks for being in our lives and for watching over us.
