Great memories from 2020

On January 25, 2020, Janice and Jim invited us to a wonderful Burns dinner!  Oh how I miss our get togethers and hopefully we can get together safely again soon!

Janice set a beautiful table.  This is from her 2020 blog:

I set the table with my mother-in-law's tablecloth which has a tartan theme, my family's china, and my grandmother Phoebe's sterling silver. I made napkins rings and place names for all the guests with their respective tartans. My napkin ring is my grandmother Phoebe's. Her initials are on top and my mother had "Janice" inscribed on the side. There were four napkin rings so" Richard" and "Jim "on inscribed on two others. 

We started by having some awesome Scotch, played Scottish Trivia and told Scottish jokes. This was followed by Piping in the Haggis thanks to You Tube!.  Dave brought his sword and Jim carried the haggis.

“Should auld acquaintance be forgot

For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.”
― Robert Burns
