On the home front it seems like a month since we've felt the gentle rocking of Tourist beneath our feet. Fortunately the weather here in NW Illinois has been unseasonably mild since we came home. It's been a busy time spent shopping, getting together with friends & family, the holidays, dentist visits and doctor appointments, etc. On the doctor note we had a good report for Pam concerning the small lump they discovered in her breast back in June. She recently had it removed and all was clear! We're both very relieved with the report and want to thank everyone who kept her in their thoughts and prayers.
Christmas was the traditional Hillard family Christmas with a family gathering at our house on the 24th with the centerpiece being a dinner of chicken casserole or chicken sh-t as we all call it. On the 25th we reconvene at my parents for gifts and our traditional meal of KFC! And this year we hosted the evening meal for Pam's side of the family and started a new dining tradition, Manny's Pizza! It just doesn't get any better than that!
We'll be home through the New Year holiday and then head back to Tourist hopefully before winter decides to rear her head!
