December 25, 2006: Avon Park, Florida.

We spent Xmas with the Widger side of the family at Sue and Gerry Page's home. Thom had not seen his grandparents or his Aunts Michelle and Candy and Uncle Kerry in 6 years, and I had never met them. Gerry took us on the golf cart for a tour of the course they live on to show us the alligators and sandhill cranes living in the hazards and a bald eagle nesting on a nearby telephone poll. Were it not for the heat and humidity, we would have thought we were back in the Midwest. We ate and ate and ate, without ever touching a veggie.

Grandma Lois and Grandpa Jerry are in their 90s, but wisecrack like they were 30. We went to church with them and Grandpa stood up in the middle of the sermon and interupted the pastor for 15 minutes to introduce us and to tell everyone how wonderful they thought it was that we had come to visit (and to chide the parishioners for failing to attend bible study during the previous week). That was a riot.
