I may try something like that... thank you for the suggestion .
Even though I left here over half an hour later than I had wanted, I still got to my daughter's place just after 2, which is well within the time frame I said I'd be there (between 2-3). There was not much traffic. We had a lovely visit with each other, exchanged our gifts, gabbed our heads off, and eventually sat down to a wonderful Christmas feast of roasted turkey breast with all the trimmings: stuffing (my absolute fave!), mashed with gravy, browned slices of yam or sweet potato, beans with something like small crunchy onion rings, and cranberry sauce. Plus, Auntie gave me a huge to-go container of leftovers; I think she felt guilty because last year (I think it was last year) she forgot to give me leftovers to take home with me. By the time clean-up was done it was close to seven, and my daughter wanted us to watch a movie together, so we settled on a Nicholas Cage number called Dream Scenario, which was interesting to say the least haha. By the time the movie ended it was close to nine so I said my good byes, packed up my goodies and was home before ten. It took longer to get home: more traffic and rainier. Last year we had snow and a while Christmas. This December we have been breaking records for warmest December days in about a hundred years. All-in-all, a lovely day, even though I could not find two of the gifts to wrap, one of which was Auntie's. Oops! All afternoon and throughout dinner we listened to a lovely, mostly mellow selection of Christmas tunes, many of them about Jesus.
Thank you for listening to me go on and on. Here is one of the panels I fixed after having it bug me for a long time how I had changed the robe colour, because I did not know how to do it back then and made a bit of a mess of it, using a brush instead of a different tool. One time when I showed my daughter one of my panels, I told her the robe had started out red, but I changed it to magenta. She replied, "Of course you did." .
I hope you had a wonderful day with your family .

We got there around about 2
Pm. I got immediately licked to death by a German gundog that went on for most of the afternoon, Betty remembered from last year i was most likely source to share the Christmas turkey I reckon 😊.
When we arrived the Christmas tree was full and it well and truly felt like father Christmas had been 😊.
I got the thickest pair of woolly socks you have ever seen in your life, knitted by my sister with a nice wooly hat and ear muffs, just the job for those cold mornings out side I thought, chuckle they had been knitted in rainbow colours, then I opened another present to find my favorit chocolates and another parcel to find my favourite drink Budweiser, which I haven't drank from last Christmas, after drinking just one bottle I was soon very tipsy, as always I got carried away. And I'm still stuffed this morning lol.
The only disappointed was we couldn't stay as long as we would have liked to this year, we normally stop over for a few days but my partner is currently under virtual ward so we had to get back, she had to drive tho, just to be on the safe side not that I was overly drunk but I did have the hic ups.
Where going again next week for a happy new year's knees up, hopefully my partner will be recovered she's got sepsis at the moment, she has to be monitored daily on a virtual ward at home, just in case her heart beat flies through the roof again,
She got many presents of my sister's to
My sister has the same taste as her, it's quite canny they bought each other identical jumpers lol.
I hope every one else had a good day here Christmas can be a lonely time for some people
