ORGANIC FREEZING

If there is such a thing as "Organic Freezing" I think the apple

hanging outside our bedroom window qualifies. It has survived several

snow storms and I thought the heavy wind gusts last week would fell it for sure,

but it's still hanging there. It's the first thing I look for when I wake in the morning

A WONDERFUL BUSY MONTH

It's been a crazy, wonderful busy month.

Family Christmas Party and grandkids making Gingerbread Houses (a tradition for just

about 40 years). We started it when our children were small. I cheat a little using

graham crackers but the kids don't mind and there is no way I'm doing real gingerbread.

Grandkids playing with the tree

Digging out Christmas decorations I ran onto the box with my 3 childhood dolls in it.
This is the last doll I received on my 11th Christmas--the year I found out the
dreadful "truth". Sheesh--I was 11!!!!--that's just embarrassing. Ruined my
whole Christmas.


Guess who picked out his very own Teddy Bear. Turned down two others
cold--but loved this one.

We usually have enough food.

Fun gift this year for each family was picture blocks. Lots of fun to make.

6 pictures -- if you turn them just right.

Just straighten' your decorations, Grandma.

JERSEY BOYS---AND GRANDMA'S

One of our adorable grandchildren hung out with Grandpa and Grandma for a couple

of weeks during the day while Mom and Dad worked and I just happened to have

a favorite soundtrack playing in the car on the ride to and from our house. After a couple

of days I failed to have it on as soon as the car started and in about a 2 minutes I heard

little sounds from his car seat. I turned the CD player on and he was quiet immediately. I turned it off again just before we hit the freeway and again- sounds from the carseat. As soon

as I turned it back on--all was well. That was our routine for the rest of the days. He needed

his "Jersey Boys" fix as bad as his Grandma did.
