Merry Christmas from the Florida James'. Everyone will be at my house for dinner. We have the same menu every year. I once veered slightly from the menu and have still not lived it down. I made pumpkin soup. The slight variation from norm did not go well with the James men who still talk about it and make sure that I am not pulling another fast one. Our biggest tradition is oyster stew. There has always been oyster stew served at Christmas. My grandad, Frank James (Will's son) looked forward to it. I wonder now if it had been a tradition in the James home when they were kids. Oysters must have been a rare thing in Iowa. I found a picture of Robert Lewis, Anna's husband while cleaning house for Christmas. It was a picture that I knew I had but until Mike did his investigation, I did not know who Robert Lewis was. His picture was in a pile with several other pictures that we have no clue who they are. Anyway when I found it, it was just like opening a Christmas gift. I was so excited. Again Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my peeps out there.
Susan and I will be heading to Phoenix Christmas Eve to spend some time with her family.
Saw Dad last night he's doing pretty good.
Hope everybody is doing well. It's been a little quiet on the site lately.
I know it's a busy time of year
