A blog of no uncertain musings. What goes on in my mind is often a source of wonder to me.

Just Some Stuff
My youngest daughter, Valerie, and her family drove some nine hours from south of Dallas to visit us near Lebanon, MO. Well, not just Jeanette and I, but her husband Justin's family as well a few towns over.

We all met for dinner at Val's favorite Hibachi place. I didn't know they had a back room with a larger grill to accommodate our 13 family-sized group. What fun. The chef/grillmaster turned on the exhaust fan early ... but forgot to turn on the grill. He came out with his tray of goodies and went to light is opening fire display. The grill was stone cold!

We got an extra 15 minutes of visiting.

They are returning home this afternoon, so I wish them safe travels.

On the weather front in south-central Missouri, there will be no white Christmas. Temperatures are expected to reach 75 Christmas Day. Just seven days ago, the temps were hovering in the single digits with below zero wind chills.

Finally, on the Writing.Com front, I'm still looking for contest entries for:
