PARTIES, MORE PARTIES! SIX!

We had a great time in Texas with my family, but more about that in another blog. We got back 15 minutes before the rain and freezing rain hit.

Monday night Kristin Bartley had a cookie exchange party, so we went to that. Lots of fun!Tonight we went to our Pastor's house, he had all the adult Sunday School teachers over for dinner. Good fellowship with people we never see as they are in their own classes. Tomorrow night, Praise Team rehearsal. Thursday, I have an office party with the Hospitalists at noon. From 3:00-4:30 the Medical Specialties managers party, some place downtown. From 4:00 to 5:30 the Primary Care managers have a party at Mr. Yens. Then, the last of this week's festivities will be a party at one of my Hospitalists' house for the Hospitalists group Saturday night.

Now besides all that, Clint is having surgery on his shoulder Friday at noon. Kristin has to work Friday and Saturday, so I will take off and be with him. Saturday, we will be with him alot, but I DO have to try and finish Christmas shopping.

So there you have it....I need a NAP!!!!!!!

NOW THAT WAS A WEEKEND!!!

WHEW! That was a crazy weekend. I believe I am getting old! Not sure I could do that often. But, it really was alot of fun! Only thing, I forgot my camera ALL WEEKEND!!!!!

Friday night we went to Highland Springs for the St. John's OB/GYN Christmas Party. The food was fabulous, as was the entertainment. It was alot of fun. Afterward, one of CB's docs had an "after party" at his home in Highland Springs. We went and it was most interesting and fun. There were alot of folks there that were not at Highland Springs, the large house was FULL! We stayed about 45 minutes.

Saturday, we slept late, cooked a late breakfast and then off to the next party. It was our Sunday School class party. If you remember in years past, we have this pair of HO HO HO boxers that we 're-gift'! Guess who got them this year? YEP! CB did! We had a great turn out and alot of fun! Then off to our next party in Marshfield to one of MY docs. Another full house, great food, great friends. The attached picture was taken there. Ty (Kristin's brother), Kristin, Clint, me and CB!

So.....I took a looooooong nap yesterday and ready to start this week. Only working 4 days, we leave Friday for Texas to celebrate Christmas with my family. I will try and remember my camera!!!!!!!!

THE START OF A BUSY HOLIDAY SEASON...

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...... it has been snowing, well, flurries mostly, all day. The ground is warm, so all we have is a dusting, but it has been in the low 30s all day!
