Thanks everyone - it really was a perfect Xmas "holiday" - it sure helped that my daughter and SIL are very "detail oriented" - they did so much planning and it really helped to make things go smoothly and inexpensively - my SIL did so many small favors to make the "oldsters" happy (kept fridge stocked with wine and cheese that is a big A +++ ) !!! So happy the weather cooperated -
