Christmas 2011

We are back!!  The first order of business is to post our Christmas activities.  We had a wonderful time with our family.  Everyone was there.  Tonya and her family and Wendy and her family.  All in all there were 11 of us, with one on the way.  Wendy was  3 months pregnant.  In May we will welcome our sixth grandchild.  Boy or girl?  Not yet known.

We all met at a place called  Zidon-Avisha just east of Tuscaloosa, Alabama.  It is sort of like a hunting lodge but there is no hunting, just fishing.  It is owned by a wonderful couple named, Duane & Suzanne Cunningham.  Duane is a local businessman who owns a company that manufactures tar paper for roofing.  Two of his biggest customers are Home Depot and Lowe's.  The lodge had four bedrooms three baths, a huge kitchen, large family room and very nice game room, complete with a pool table and ping pong.  Along the back was a screened in patio.  On one end was a car port and the other end a nice fishing pier.  Sherree and I slept in the motor home while everyone else enjoyed the comforts of the lodge.  All of this and Duane and Suzanne lets us stay for over a week for gratis.  The following slide show is somewhat long but we had so much fun that I just couldn't decide what to leave out.  Enjoy.
