Grocery shopping after meeting then gas up at Nader's station. Nearly get hit turning into station - never saw the guy coming, missed by inches. Home and put away food. Check e-mail and news sites. Beth home from Edie's and we get ready and take off for Gerber's Christmas Party in Orange County. Two hours exactly. Good food; good friends; lotta laughs; Both sisters there - Sharon and Carol; plus Sharon and Bill's kids and grand kids. Hop on freeway for home around 5:00. Lotta' traffic though we make it home in just over two hours. Open mail and download photos. Get ready for bed. Later ~
