So playing the trombone wasn't getting me in enough trouble? |
| We had a pleasant kids' Christmas; it was calm and relaxing. Everybody enjoyed the food, and contrary to my worries, there was plenty to go around. I have succumbed to the nagging doubt that there won't be enough to eat, and that someone might go hungry. BTW: we're still eating leftovers from the day. The kiddies loved their gifts. It's interesting to note the changes, though. Lenore's niece showed more appreciation for the clothing and jewelry she received than for the toyish/craftish gifts she used to love. We got her a locket, a daisy on a chain that opened to reveal an etched picture of Daisy. Daisy, in case you don't know, is their lovable ball of fluff. That gift was the subject of many pictures sent to her friends! We've got Christmas decorations to take down, and the outside is done. I pushed to get it done yesterday. We're expecting rain and a drastic drop in temperature. Right now, an inflatable Rudolf is flashing his nose in the garage, drying out before I put him away until next year. I'll be helping Lennie with the inside stuff, and then move onto my inside winter projects. |
