Early December 2016

December started with getting up the Christmas decorations, and early in the month Debra Sue Darling Gibbs came for a short visit. Of course there were delicious meals, movies, a trip to SLC, and lots of good visiting. And maybe some shopping. Cousin George Terry Taylor presented his cutting of A Christmas Carol at Compound Dinner. December also brought Christmas concerts, baklava making, and lots of good walks.
