Family Celebration.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

After getting to bed after midnight, it was a good thing we slept until nearly 9:00 this morning. It gave us the chance to catch up on the sleep we didn’t get through the night.

We settled for Cereal for breakfast with Peppermint Tea at the Computers. Glad to read that everyone could celebrate Christmas in their own way.

With Plans for another outing this afternoon we settled for Chicken Noodle Soup for lunch.

Since we use the Car mostly running errands around the area, we thought it wise to give the Truck some exercise today.

Our first stop was at Shoppers Drug Mart, so I could take advantage of the Seniors Discount Day on Vitamins, for when I next do our Pill Doucettes.

From there we headed south on Lauzon Road headed for the Expressway. It was nice that the Road Construction has been finished until next Spring.

The Truck ran smoothly without hesitation all the way through the town of LaSalle, then on to Amherstburg and our son Kevin and daughter-in-law Melissa’s house. Glad we parked on the road, leaving room in the driveway for all the other Cars that would be arriving soon afterwards. Kevin always sets up his Garage for these Family Gatherings.

It wasn’t long before the rest of the gang started arriving. Then the covered over workbenches became a Buffet Serving Table. Nobody went home hungry as a fact most had brought Containers to share the leftovers for coming lunches. Then the desserts came out.

We had all brought our Coins so we could play the game “Left, Right, Center”. Everyone starts by putting a coin in the Center while having three in front of them. When you first start you roll Three Special Dice marked L, R, C and Dots. For each letter you roll, you have to contribute a coin to the person to your Left, Right or Center. Any coins put in the Center (Pot) become inactive. You only roll the number of dice equal to the number of coins you have remaining. The fun is when there are Fourteen People playing and people that have lost all there coins are suddenly back in the game. The Last Person with any coins wins the Center (Pot). One game could take an Hour to play.

Then our daughter Karen found a game for everyone to get Gift Bags they can’t look inside. Once everyone has a Bag they roll a regular dice with the number according to a chart, determines whether all the Bags are moved around the table to the Right, Left, Exchange with someone else, even though the Bags are still unopened, or it could say to open your Gift at which time you are done. With a predetermined number of times the dice will go around the table, is when the remaining players open their Gifts. As a reprieve some bartering can take place to exchange the gifts among the players.

After lots of Laughter, Pictures and Hugs, it was time to head for home. It was nearly 9:00 when the Truck was pointed back towards Windsor.

It was another wonderful day celebrating the Christmas Holiday with Family.
