In the evening, we drove through downtown Richmond. My BFF, her family ―including “Puppy” (the cairn terrier I mentioned earlier)―and I were together. We passed by the Edgar Allan Poe Museum and several government buildings.
We stopped by “Christmas on Wendhurst” house in a nice neighborhood. Numerous Christmas lights and decorations were displayed in the yard and on the house. The home owner was a winner of the national contest, The Great Christmas Light Fight, ABC TV in 2016. This year’s display included over 170,000 lights with 1,326 homemade decorations! It was absolutely spectacular!!

We finally arrived home. We had dinner together. I loved the sweet potato casserole. After dinner, I enjoyed watching the children dance in the living room until midnight. They were great dancers! They were so funny that I could not stop laughing. I was so happy to be surrounded by such a happy, loving family like my friend’s.
