On Christmas Eve, Jane loaded the car
and when Suzanne emerged from the door,
we drove east stopping for gas
at this rest stop
where the family waited for their food at Burger King
as Jane held my lunch from Pizzeria Uno
and when I opened the pizza and dug in, I was amazed that the crust could be so bad but I had no idea that this wouldn't be the worst
even as I took this self portrait
and admired the Food from Burger King
as Suzanne expressed some delight
about her salad
and Ben
and Sarah
got ready to dig in as Jane and Sarah
and Sarah
and Ben
and Jane
inspired me to take another self portrait
and photograph French Fries
instead of eating them, especially if they were green.
We drove on to exit 6
EZpass paid our toll
and got onto the Parkway
to make our way to the hotel where Nadine checked us into
a room that looked like this
with a bath that looked like this
and this view from the view
with the view improving when the flash was off.
We made our way to Norma's where Ben
was very amused by the basket made of bread until we tasted the bread and it was even worse than the Pizzeria Uno crust.
But, that's getting ahead of the story.
Ben started playing trumpet
and then Ben and Jane played a concert
|
before we went upstairs to visit Maxine and Ann Sharon who posed with Sarah
before the Gespass'es -- Andy, Katy and Sam -- arrived
and Sam showed off his new locks
before Maxine and Suzanne posed with Norma
and then Ann Sharon joined the picture
while Sarah finished her piano playing
and we went downstairs for the pizza
Debbie had made.
George was there
as was Danny
and Dolly
and the 2 sides of the table
and a slightly obscured Norma at the head
admired my new shirt
as Sarah showed off her new shirt
and Dan talked about life in the delivery business
as Jane made a braid
and then smiled about it
and Sam showed off his new locks
as Norma discussed life
and Andy moved further
and further out of the frame
as Ben caught a nap
I took this self portrait
and Jane showed off her shoes
and then took a few pictures of the apartment
and her finger
before the final pictures were taken
and we could call it a night.
