EARLIER. we were very thankful, to make it to my grandma's house today. we had a scare, on the way there. we took the backroads route earlier to go to my grandma's house. past the post office, into Montville, CT, we were driving along, there's a road, 2 lanes, 1 lane for cars to go that way, and 1 lane for the cars to go the other way. We were cruising along, and then, all of a sudden, we saw a scary sight, a white minivan, was barreling toward us, the van was on the wrong side of the road. we all were very scared, and were prepared to swirve out of the way. it was close, probably bout 50 to 75 feet, that minivan, it would have been a head-on collision. we all yelled, and were very scared, and felt shaken up, the rest of the way to my grandma's house. my mom called my dad,and told him about it. we are ok, but it was very scary, and was extremely close call. we have no idea, what that minivan was doing on the wrong side of the road. it was nerve-racking, but we're ok. i just wanted to mention it in my journal, since earlier i began my writing, by going right into the writing about the party. the ride there, was definitely scary, but we made it to my grandma's, and arrived home safely :) we're thankful :)

Happy Christmas Eve!! (Well, it will be by the time you read this I hope!)
I\'ve done a lot of cleaning today to get ready for the family gathering here tomorrow. I also made some gingerbread biscuits which just finished baking and make the place smell lovely!
It\'s really hot here, so Misty and I are crashed out on the couch, and I might put on a movie and make some lunch.
I\'m enjoying your Christmas fun from over here - what a lovely day at Grandma\'s! I\'m so glad you were alright with that close call on the trip there. Stay safe!
Sending love and hugs from Baking Brisbane! xxoo
