Head Start!
With the coming of the New Year the Doctor’s appointments start again. So to get a head start on the process I submit this to you!
There you must feel better already!!!
Christmas Eve II
With David behind the camera we didn’t get him in a picture this year. Sorry David but a big thank you also!
This happy duo are laughing over the fact that we are wearing blouses that we bought over 16 years ago. Throw them away--not on your life!
My brother Gene and Jeanie were with us again this year. I hope this will become a regular part of their holiday visits!
Les and family before they left for the long trip home!
Of course no holiday is complete without Richard spending time with us.
Wes and family before the tree.
And the “old folks”!
Our Christmas celebration brought to mind the phrase from a song.
Oh we ain’t got a barrel of money.
Maybe we’re ragged and funny.
But we’ll travel along
Singing a song side by side!
And that was the most comforting thing about the day--we were there together!!!
