CHRISTMAS

THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT FOR US THIS YEAR THAN IN PREVIOUS YEARS HERE ON THE DESERT. FIRST OFF WE HAD CHRISTMAS EVE "OFF" WORK AND SECOND WE HAD GRANDMA HERE TO SHARE THE HOLIDAY WITH. USUALLY CHRISTMAS IS JUST ANOTHER WORK DAY, WITH BETTER THAN AVERAGE FOOD SERVED IN THE EMPLOYEE CAFETERIA.

MARY WAS HAPPY DOING WHAT SHE ENJOYS BEST, COOKING. SUNDAY SHE HAD A PORK TENDERLOIN IN THE CROCK POT AND ROASTED PARMESAN POTATOES, WITH HOMEMADE EGG NOG FOR DESERT. ON SUNDAY SHE PACKED UP A PICNIC LUNCH OF CHICKEN CORDON BLUE, RICE MEDLEY, GRAVY, AND ROASTED CAULIFLOWER AND BROCCOLI WHICH WE DELIVERED AND ATE AT MY MOTHER'S MOTEL SUITE.

DESPITE YOUR BLIZZARD LIKE CONDITIONS IN THE MIDWEST WE HOPE YOUR CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS CAME OFF WITHOUT A HITCH, AND WERE A SUCCESS!!!
