Christmas 2022

Unfortunately Deanna and her family could not join us this year. We had a wonderful family time in Tennessee. Everyone arrived before Christmas. There was hiking, shopping, and game playing. Marjorie and Cameron showed up last and we celebrated on Thursday night. We got gifted by Mom and then opened socks.

Lora and I headed home for a Smith family breakfast on Christmas Eve at her sisters house and another Smith gathering for dinner at the fellowship hall. Christmas day I returned to the folks house to spend time with Marjorie and Cam. They left Monday after Christmas. Lots of Blessings for Christmas.

Murfreesboro TTA Christmas Party

Our annual chapter Christmas party involved two things we enjoy as hikers - being outside and sitting around a roaring fire. Jay Brain hosted the party at his lovely home in Murfreesboro. Jay grilled hamburgers and Joe Campbell provided barbecued ribs as well. Jay had two fires going - one on his patio and another in his backyard surrounding by interesting rocks and beautiful landscaping. We had appetizers, lots of side items and delicious desserts. We all had a great time!
