On Christmas day, after a leisurly, lovely morning of gift opening and some phone calls with our family we enjoyed a Christmas dinner at the home of Elmer and Sue Hodge and their entire family of married sons and daughters and grandchildren. It was a very enjoyable time and wonderful food! They are so nice to us!

This is a view toward the Peaks of Otter on the Blue Ridge in the background as the morning sun's rays first begin to hit the mountains. I get to walk along through this lovely setting Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday when I walk our little road before our day of missionary work begins. Pretty nice, huh?
