A quick recap

| Christmas in Conway - 2017 |
Son-2's house was decorated with many mementos of past Christmases, including this painting of Santa done by my very talented MIL who died in April.
We participated in the family's annual table-top game tournament, highlighted by a complex scoring system developed by GS-3. Even though I won Sushi Go Party (my secret weapon was tempura shrimp), I was at the bottom or near the bottom of every other game we played.
Gifts from family included warm slippers, a luxurious bamboo scarf, and Isotoner gloves. On the quilting front, I am looking forward to starting Jen Kingwell's "My Small World." And I'll attempt to work my way through Tula Pink's City Sampler: 100 Modern Quilt Blocks.
Santa surprised me with two gift certificates -- one for a new really smart phone to replace my current somewhat smart phone, and this:
