  We few into Houston on Nov. 22nd to Hobby Airport and then rented a car and headed for Texarkana to see my daughter Dee.   We had a great visit with her and Marie.   Dee  and I went shopping on Wednesday morning  and then pickled up the Turkey Dinner to take back for Marie to heat up. Bob and I went over to their place for Dinner and to celebrate Christmas with them.  It was really nice.  After dinner we were able to take pictures of the decorations they had put up for Christmas.
