Deck the boules...

Our hostess

...and host (with Wade)

Bo and Kirk invited us to their Spruce Pine home on December 1, to get the holiday season started. Though the weather outside was frightening, the Edwardses were still inviting and we managed to have a great time. Some visited and played in the rain-- some just visited. John Gantt and Steve showed up with Wade, so he was the center of attention for quite a few, Shirley among them.

It was nice to see a few people that we had not seen in a while. That adds a lot of meaning to the phrase "Happy Holidays!"
