Today we celebrated Christmas in Oquawka with Aunt Madge, Renee, Erin and Denver. Mom, Aunt Ethel and I left Galesburg about 11:30 to head down to the big river town of Oquawka.
Aunt Madge had appetizers waiting for us - shrimp cocktail, cheese and salami with assorted crackers, veggies and chips. Yum! We visited for a couple hours, opened presents and then we had dinner. What a menu! Crab legs & breaded shrimp with augratin potatoes. Mom had a special steak because she doesn't like seafood. Aunt Madge thought of everything. We had blueberry cheesecake for dessert and it was delicious.
Denver's new little kitten, Kiki, keep us all in stitches. She's an adorable gray tabby. Aunt Madge and Denver picked her out at the Burlington Iowa flea market. Denver and Erin just dote on her. This cat is drowning in attention! I must of taken 20 pictures of her and the kids. I told Erin and Denver we would create a scrapbook of Kiki and they cheered!
We left Oquawaka about five o'clock. We dropped off Aunt Ethel, stopped by Hi-Lo to pick up the fixins for popcorn balls and headed home. As soon as I walked in the door, I knew something was wrong. It was so cold in the house. The temperature was 58. The furnace had gone out. Praise God the furnace guy from Lambasio fixed it. The electronic ignitor went out.
