The three of us were not impressed. We then got a wiggle on and went to spend time with dad. He was in a happy mood and enjoyed the attention and presents. I was going to take dad to mass but he was so happy and interactive I could not waste that opportunity. We came home and made sandwiches and a cheese board to share at Bethany's. It was strange because we had a blackout and it covered a huge area. Just as well there was no cooking to be done here. <br /><br />The happy side of the thundery showers was a much cooler but still humid world. Beth had to be the teacher and had games arranged. When Jermu's family came they brought the dad's sister. She spoke English so very well and was a joy. We spent the afternoon playing pictionary style games and when the rain stopped a very soggy game of French cricket was played. That was pure craziness in itself. After that we played a Finnish games called Molkky. See here to read about it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%B6lkky. It was addictive and fun and everyone from mum down played it. Usi, J's father, made the game lots of fun by standing everything back up and helping things run smoothly.<br /><br />Mr Jermu made a huge vegan meal. Beth did not have the blackout and Jermu cooked his heart out. He did well. Beth decorated beautifully and it was a pleasure to sit under the verandah and relax.<br /><br />I don't normally talk about gifts. This year Beth surprised me with a suitcase ornament with a picture of the Eiffel Tower upon it. Pip found me a dvd series about Queen Victoria. In fact all my gifts had some true thought and love behind them.<br /><br />It isn't even 8 pm and I am ready for bed.<br /><br />God bless you all and have a safe and happy Christmas.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283293507101152512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-16546968262554230622016-12-25T09:05:23.518+00:002016-12-25T09:05:23.518+00:00Thanks Helen!
