Christmas TreeI’m trying something rather different with pictures this post. Instead of embedding large images, with possibly slow loading, I’m including small images. you can see the large image by clicking on the smaller one. It should appear in a pop-up box by itself. See how this works for you and let me know which solution you like better.

Christmas TreeChristmas has come and mostly gone, leaving behind the usual clutter and smiles. The “children” still like to play the stocking game, I think as an exercise in nostalgia, and they still seem to like getting socks and underware along with silly stuff. Flo and I mostly got books, and Andy got mostly music stuff. Almost anything that makes a sound interests him. You can see the Slide Show if you like.

After the opening, it was a very quiet day. We all seem to live such hectic lives that a day of doing essentially nothing was positively delightful. The cat couldn’t decide which lap looked best, so made the rounds all day.
