Both my sons were home for Christmas and we had a great day. After opening presents with the family in the morning I took advantage of having their strong young backs at my command again and we repaired an old bridge across the creek here. This involved lots of banter and impertinent questioning of my engineering skills and one tumble into the icy waters. On the way back to the house we harvested some hickory bark which went in the BBQ with the turkey and then dressed for dinner.
