Good news and good news.

 

Yesterday my son called and told me his 5 year old had been running a 102 degree temp and was now on antibiotics.  Apparently an ear infection and they won't be making the 5 1/2 hour trip with an unhappy child.

 

Today as we were in the middle of food prep, my wife's daughter called and said they wouldn't be arriving today (for the big meal) because her husband had sinus surgery on Monday and wasn't feeling well.  Maybe they can make it tomorrow, or at least that is the plan. 

 

Called my daughter and she and the twins were fine and suggested we try for a limited get together tomorrow.

 

No need for excessive drinking today.  Feeding everyone cold leftovers tomorrow.
