The first month of the new year was largely uneventful for us.  It was mostly about adjusting to the winter weather.  On New Year’s Day, Chrissy & Johnny were finishing their visit to Maryland for the holidays.

On the second day of the month, we got a modest snowfall.  Plus the weather turned colder over the next couple of weeks, adding a layer of ice to the nearby lake.  The ducks had to work to keep a small area open.

On the final day of the month, Ming’s mom prepared a beautiful and delicious Chinese meal for the family to share.

The second week in November was time for the annual family reunion at Dale Hollow Lake.  Since we were living in Maryland, we could drive to the event this year.  We took our time with an overnight stop in Charleston, WV.  Our first stop was to visit Hew at Nolin Lake.

On the 13th, we continued on to Eagle  Cove on Dale Hollow Lake.  We enjoyed all of the usual festivities, particularly the White Elephant gift exchange.

At the conclusion of the weekend, we drove back into Kentucky to visit with Nancy in Louisville.

Later in November, we enjoyed a nice Thanksgiving dinner with Valerie’s sisters in Maryland.
