So we are a house divided! I am an Ohio State Buckeye fan and my DH and DS are Michigan Wolverine fans and we live in Michigan so I have double minority status. Needless the say, until recently things have been very good for me and not so for them. Now the pendulum has swung! Last night I was happy for them winning the college football national championship (sorry @Husky1987 Larry 😪)! But today I am back to being bitter rivals 🤣! Fun fact: Ohio State won the first CFP (in the four team format) and Michigan won the last!

Whatever your heart desires my friend!

@taznremmy Hi Pat!! So happy you joined in the fun. Keep your lovely pictures coming and have a drink for me. Jennifer

@Luckynana Glad you got your internet back Maryann!

I was wondering?? You and David should make a friendly bourbon wager since he is Michigan all the way! 😉

Good luck Sue!

Happy New Year to all of my wonderful friend's on Dani's thread! 🍾 I wish you all health and happiness!

To all on this wonderful thread, I wish you a Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! It has been so special to be able to share with you all from far and near 🎄🕎🍾

@Sea Dog Wow! What a nice story about your son! When I had the house stripped down before putting Christmas Decorations up, my DS said "It looks so empty and cold". I took that to mean he likes when the house is decorated 😀. Happy Birthday to Linda 🎂!

Yikes!!

Marty and Helen are the sweetest! So good to see all of your faces and what a relief for your family that you were not diverting to Cozumel for your DD. Glad you can have this week to relax and prepare for the wedding!

Wonderful news!!!

@akcruz April, those are so nice. I remember my mother made similar ornaments except using ribbons and pins around a styrofoam ball. @Ozark_Kid John, what a lovely picture of your grands! The weather in SE Michigan is snowy, but we are not supposed to get any accumulations.

Holy moly Dave that was the most stressful start for your first week. Future SIL rocks!!

@dani negreanu Nothing is more therapeutic that a walk on a beach! So very happy you were able to do that! Peace and Love to you ❤️!

Have a great embarkation day Mark and Susan! It is the best day ever!🌴🎄

Oh no don't let Dave hear this!!!1

Greg, you probably don't have to worry about it, but our subdivision has restrictions on "downlighting" in the soffits so there is no way we could do that! Therefore, I say cruise!

@Lionesss Happy birthday Sue and cheers to a great year ahead! 🎂🍾

Mark, that is a super nice looking hotel with all the Christmas decor! Thanks for sharing!

Hooray!! What a great night for you to have as your first! You look well my friend and svelte! Hi to Linda 👋.

@Ozark_Kid Thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures! Looks like a fun event!

So excited for you all and to follow along! Thanks for doing this "live"!

@DaniDanielle we have lots of wild turkeys here in Southeast Michigan!

@Luckynana and @BonTexasNY don't forget about me! I was told "Jennifer" was the most popular girls name in 1961 (my birth year). 😉 Also, I remember Love Story as being the first movie I bawled my eyes out too! Even today I still cry when I watch it. @FromSea2ShiningSea Thanks for the beautiful pictures Helen!
