January 8

My mother-in-law had surgery on December 21. Originally we thought she'd be home in 2 or 3 days. Well, when they got in there, it was a bit more serious and she ended up not going home until December 26. It made for an interesting, busy, and stressful week with trips to the hospital, her place to feed the cat, etc. We had been planning to do Christmas dinner at her place, but when she got discharged, the doctor put her on a liquid/blended diet until she saw him on the 3rd of January. We opted to wait on our ham dinner until she could have it. So, on January 8, we had Christmas dinner. Here is the ham before I took it out of the electric roaster. If you don't have one, get one - I LOVE our roaster!
