Good Morning to you all. I suppose everyone is busy getting ready for Christmas. Seth flew in with his other Meem a few days ago. Matt and Kelly drove in last night. Rob is still out on storm duty and should be back home by tomorrow. Sherman will be here the 26th. So that is the update on the Compher crew! We will be having Christmas with Bob's family on the 26th and with our immediate family on Sunday. Christmas with the Carter's (my side) is still being planned. Can you believe that one?

I thought it would be a good time to share our flight schedule:

United #8058 Dec 31 Leaving Dayton 1:22 PM Arriving Chicago 1:35 PM

Lufthansa #431 Dec 31 Leaving Chicago 3:40 PM Arriving Frankfurt, Germany 7:00 AM (next day Jan. 1)

Lufthansa #3210 Jan 1 Leaving Frankfurt, Germany 9:50 PM

Arrive in Samara, Russia at 4:55 AM (next day Jan. 2)

We have plans for after Christmas for Caitlin and Cydney to come to my house to practice making a quilt. Actually, it is more like practice for me to teach someone how to make a quilt. You would think after 29 years in education I could handle teaching someone anything right????? Anyway, I have their fabric and we are going to give it a try. I just want to run through it and they are going to be helping me with the project in Samara, so I thought it would be a good idea if they had a little experience with it first. Sounds fun doesn't it? Wish you all could be here. We would have a ball.
