Day 70

Christmas in San Antonio was a lot colder than it was last year. It was 15 - 20 degrees colder. We slept in and then spent the morning reading the newspaper. There was actually something on sale that we could use. We'll probably go out bargain hunting tomorrow.

Ellen fixed a couple of items for the Christmas potluck. She'd bought some pasta yesterday for one dish. When she was boiling it, she noticed a whole lot of bugs swimming around in the water. Needless to say she threw that out and started over again. The potluck itself was great. About 20 people who were all a long way from home. There were some good cooks in attendance - the food was excellent.

The realtor sent us an email saying that the people that are selling the house we are interested in are getting a divorce. They aren't interested in "doing anything" until after 1/15 when the divorce is final. I'm not sure what that means. During the "call home for the holidays" phone call today my brother thought that this might be a good thing as it will make them more anxious to sell. I guess we'll work it out on Monday.

The dog is feeling better, but we had to get up twice last night to let her out. She decided to be bad again while we were at the dinner. She tore apart an insulated carrier that we use to hold lunch when we picnic. Another thing we'll have to shop for.
