Another Coats Christmas Celebration has come and gone…. This one seemed much quicker than the ones previous. It was really great being able to see everyone together like that. I didn’t do an actual head count – I’m sure somebody there did, but I am estimating 26-27 people attended this year’s festivities… give or take a couple. That’s an awful lot of bodies in one place!

Anyhoo… I rushed to get the pix imported into picasa and up on the web. I excluded the awful blurry pix and I tried to go thru each of the ones and correct the red-eye stuff, but some of the pix still could be cropped better, and touched up a bit. But to appease the largest amount of people, I decided to just upload the rest of them, and let you guys grab whichever ones you want, and edit to your hearts’ content!

I couldn’t believe it when I passed by the corner convenience store earlier today…. gas was $1.49 per gallon! Didn’t think I’d ever see gas go back under a buck-fifty…

Tomorrow is my final Christmas Cantata practice before Sunday’s performance at Buck Creek Baptist… No – that isn’t my church. This year we had a joint venture between the Loris UMC and Buck Creek Baptist. The UMC performance was last weekend – yup… while I was cruising in the Bahamas. Soooo… if anyone is in the Buck Creek vicinity on Sunday around 11AM… stop by. This year’s music is very nice!

Tomorrow is also The Coats Christmas Celebration(or C3, as I like to call it). I look forward to this get-together every year… and no – I’m not saying that just because some of them happen by this blog every once in a while. Good times… good people… Hopefully, I’ll be able to snap some decent photos.

Coats Christmas Celebration

I uploaded about 64 pix to picasa web of the Coats Christmas gathering. It’s a little more than half of my the total number of pictures taken. I had some that didn’t turn out so well and a few with some closed eyes and a couple that I figured just wouldn’t interest anyone other than myself. Anyway, you can click on either the picture or the link below to go straight to the album. Make sure you come back here and post your thoughts.

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a safe and happy holidays. We didn’t do much because of the rainy weather, not to mention that everyone in my family except me are early sleepers. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but tired people tend to get a tad grumpy while waiting for the Ball to drop in NYC. No biggie, I still woke Amy up at midnight for our New Year’s Kiss.

Anyway, I’m putting the finishing touches on the pix I took at the Coats Christmas Celebration, and I should have them online tomorrow evening when I get home from work. The kids get an extra day before heading back to school. There are some pretty good pictures in the mix. I really like the silly poses from the grandkids, and I got a snapshot of people lining up for the food that I affectionately like to call “The Gravy Train.” It was really nice to see everyone there and in good spirits. I never understood spouses talking down about their in-laws… Amy’s side of the family are great people… and I’m not saying that because they’ll be reading this… no really… honest.
