Merry Little Christmas Everyone.  Today is our final gathering as we celebrate Epiphany when the 3 Wise Men followed the star that led them to our Savior's birthplace.

We are having our last gathering here today with a  dinner party for family and friends who are like family. Tomorrow we are invited to Frank's sister's for another family dinner.  This will finish out the Christmas Season and on Monday we will commence removing and storing all of our Christmas Decorations.

Before we go to Roz's, we will stop at our daughter, Nicole's, to meet our new grandcats.  Photos to follow.

I am making two different kinds of stew for our celebration today. My Savory Stew is always a hit and this Vegan version I am sharing with you today features Mushrooms.
