Hope Y'all Can Make It

A few days ago my wife asked me to send a mass email to the Goddard folks (about 30 in number) who will be attending the Goddard Christmas Family Gathering at our house during Christmas. She asked me to give directions on how to get to the house to those who may need them and also to tell them to bring drinks and dessert. I thought that it would be a good idea to invite my blog readers as well. Hope y’all can make it.

If you are coming down the road you need to drive about 2 hours or 4 hours or 30 minutes according to where you are coming from. When you get to that place where they had that bad wreck several years ago and that dog got loose and bit that man you are not far from where you turn. After you turn look for that sign that advertises the hotel being only three miles ahead. When you get to that hotel you have gone a little bit too far.

After you turn around turn left and stay on that road until you get to that Mexican restaurant that went out of business. (Me and Kathy didn't think that place would make it cause we hardly ever saw any cars there. When we did see cars they were old ones). Turn right not far past that place and stay on that road until you get to that trailer park where the man got shot for trying to beat up his wife. (Me and Kathy think he should have got shot for trying to beat up his wife. He was a sorry no good so and so. He is already out of jail so you may want to be careful when you go by). Look for that Handy Quickly that never has any ice and hang a left there. When you get to where that woman moved from that works at Kathy's school you need to turn right. Go on down that road until you get to the Kraft's house. We are right next door. If you go to the Nesmith's house you have gone too far. You should be able to recognize the Nesmith's house cause sometimes they are out workin in the yard. The Kraft house will be easy to spot cause it usually has a car or two in the driveway.

As far as what to bring, we think if everybody brought some soup and maybe some fried fish and cheese omelets or sumpin like gat would be good. We have plenty of chocolate covered nuts so there is no use to bring anymore of them.

Last year there was some confusion on the gifts. We had a drawing and for some unforeseen reason everybody drew my name. We didn't want to do that again cause I was the only one getting presents last year. So this year, to be fair, I moved my name from the bowl we drew from and put it in another bowl. Doggoned if we didn't draw out of the bowl that had only my name in it when we did the drawing. So everybody drew my name again.

I'm sorry it worked out like gat but we tried to be fair this time.

If any of y'all have any questions, please let me know and I will be sure they get answered.

Lookin forward to the Goddard family Christmas gathering this year.
