They will plan to stay through the evening. So, everything can now be pushed back. We can open presents whenever everyone gets here, whenever that is. And then stay and have a good dinner. Grandpa won a ham out at the Bath Conservation Club this afternoon. Yeah, a whole ham. Come hungry. Ha. I hope this will make things easier for you to manage when you get to Cincinnati.<br /><br />Hope you enjoy Stone Henge on solstice, you lucky guy.

Tami says they may stay longer if you make arrangements to meet them in Centerville. Your Mustang does not have valid tags and there is no time to register it in your name so, that is a dilemma. You, I suppose, could use the Trailblazer. It is on you to do some communicating.Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14033792229910400299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044648.post-23437295100035052392012-12-16T08:01:31.449-06:002012-12-16T08:01:31.449-06:00How long will people be together?

I think this is because they want to go to church in Kentucky on Christmas Eve, and then spend Christmas Day with Kim's family. Dan and family will be here on both eve and day, as will your mother and Micah and presumably Deanna. So it would probably be best for you to try to head up here (Oxford)<br /> soon after you're able to go to your Dad's house and settle in with your things, etc.<br /><br />If this doesn't work, however, we'll figure something else out, but it looks as though the David's will want to open presents on Christmas Eve day. Not our usual procedure, but hey, we're going to try to make things work out for everyone.<br /><br />Also, since the 24th is your Mom's birthday, we'll try to celebrate that after David's family leaves in the evening.<br /><br />Prime rib/crab dinner will be fixed on Christmas Day, and it should be fairly peaceful since no one will be anticipating presents any more. We'll also have the pool tournament then.<br /><br />Hope this helps. Just don't worry about it.

Sorry to disappoint everyone who wants to be the first one to see me, but it makes the most sense for me to get picked up by Dad because all my stuff is at his house. But, do we know what day the respective Christmases are happening in Oxford and with Dad's side (wherever that's happening)?Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03918675492238901083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044648.post-32620206422261970832012-12-14T16:46:48.848-06:002012-12-14T16:46:48.848-06:00Let me suggest that you wear shoes before you atta...Let me suggest that you wear shoes before you attack Isengard. In that vein, let me also suggest footwear on the Grey dog. I have heard of unexpected debris on bus floors. In any event, shoes or not, I will be at the terminal to pick you up at 1000h EST on 24DEC.
