We went to the annual Fork Christmas party on Saturday. For those of you who don't know I was adopted and found my biological family, the Forks, about nine years ago. (Maybe I'll start writing the story about it on the blog.)
Anyway, it was pretty low key this year. Most of the children are now teenagers and they did a game exchange. The adults didn't exchange gifts this year, but Dotty (the oldest sibling) made surprise gifts for everybody. Earlier this year my biological father passed away; he was a Harley Davidson nut. Dotty took his Harley t-shirts, cut them into panels, and made everybody a quilt.
As you can see, they are very cool; she backed them with polar fleece.
On another warm note, we are trying again to get out pellet/corn stove to work. It is finally burning well, since we can actually buy wood pellets this year, but we keep having smoke issues. It might have something to do with the fact that it is a free standing stove that we are trying to use as an insert. Who knows? I plugged in a CO detector just in case.
