"The best made plans of mice and men" fell through for our Christmas plans. My mom & dad were to come out the 23rd (our Victor's birthday) and stay for several days. However, mom started having real bad trouble with her left eye and the doctor had to put a full eye patch on the eye and she could not see to drive. Dad has not been able to see well enough to drive for quit a long time, so they were not able to come out as originally planned. We debated going there or driving down to get them. But mom was in a lot of pain and miserable as can be so we opted to leave them alone so she could heal! We ended up having a very quiet Christmas Day here at our Homestead.
David had a few days off work over the holidays so we slipped out of Salem Friday morning (26th) and headed South along the river and went to Cabela's in Wheeling, West Virginia. Seems like this time of year always finds us there. Last year we went on New Year's Eve. We all thoroughly enjoy the trip and the store there. We always pack a picnic lunch and take a break from shopping and have a picnic in the car. Really a fun day. The boys are really into tomahawk throwing, fishing, pellet gun shooting, & slingshot shooting, so it seems like each time we go, there are more departments of interest to cover!!! The boys favorite remains ~~~ The Shooting Gallery. There you will find laser shotguns and laser targets which equals a TON of fun.
Saturday January 3rd we went to our niece's house for Christmas/New Year's on David's side of the family. Emmy and her husband Richard Miller welcomed everyone to their place in town. Those able to be there were David's sister Lynn, her son Marty and Marty's brother-in-law Lance. Marty's wife, Jen, unfortunately had to work and we really missed her a lot. An unexpected guest was a "forever friend" Willis Montgomery and his wife Charla. We had not seem them in ever so long and they were able to come visit for several hours. What a treat to listen to Will, David & Lynn reminisce about "the good ole days"!

Oh, my! Willis Montgomery! The one and only time I remember while growing up that my mom and dad had to have a babysitter, they called Lynn. She brought Willis along with her. A fun evening I will never forget!
