Christmas trip to the mountains

We drove to the mountains instead of flying this time because of the high winds! 

For the first time, we were able to attend Grandma's Christmas gathering that she's been doing the last few years at Golden Corral.  It was very nice - got to see lots of my cousins and aunts/uncles!

Grandma is doing well - look closely at her shoes!

I've enlarged the photo so you could see.  They are just fabulous!  They look like Dorothy's slippers.  Grandma said she likes them because they're so comfy and festive.  Yes!

After a few words - we all mingled and ate.  And ate way too much, of course!  I chatted with Grandma a bit - she wanted to know if Robert was still driving her Subaru - and of course, he is and loves it still!

We stopped back by Duane's folk's house for another visit - Granny took me out to the garden to load up on veggies as usual.....yummmmm - I'll have turnips tomorrow with our family's Christmas dinner!!!  Oh, and look at that beautiful Carolina Blue sky in the background!!
