A Belated Happy Birthday, Christmas, and New Year Moby Dick Party

Since we were sick with the horrible viral respiratory illness for several weeks, we canceled our Christmas - and then New Year get togethers with family. There were also a couple birthdays in between that were missed. We traditionally have pierogis and kielbasa. Since we are finally feeling better and the Polish fare is long gone, we rescheduled the holiday feast to a much more casual dinner for tomorrow late afternoon. It will be a Moby Dick take out dinner with all the "fixins." So we will all gather here and order from the now ragged menu, the drive to Arlington to pick up the kabobs, salads, bread, and eggplant dishes. To make it a little more festive, we thought it would be nice to have an assortment of desserts and ice cream, and fresh tulips. Of course, the requisite tea will be served when all is done. Luckily, none of us are die hard football fans, so we won't be missing anything. It's just nice to know we have family in the area, and can plan a celebration at any time of the year.
