MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL. Last night we decorated the tree and it was wonderful.. Travis (eldest grandson) had some of his friends stop by and everyone that came in was handed an ornament to hang and had to pick out "their" spot on the tree. His Jewish girlfriend was over and when I handed her a special feather coated, egg shaped Christmas ball to hang (after calling her our "token Jew" - with laughs) she said it was the first Christmas tree she had ever decorated. She had tears in her eyes. My son's best friend came by - we ended up playing cards until 4:30 this morning A wonderful, laughing Christmas morning opening silly and thoughtful presents and putting more logs on the fire and fresh, warm doughnuts in our tummies. Now they have all gone to Jenny's mom's for dinner and the dogs, cats, fire & I have the house to ourselves. ahhhh, I believe I'll fix myself a drink at Dick's place and offer one up for anybody that stops by. Love you.

Richard, just read your last post. BAKE!! They don't call me Baker for nothin' We can do the hokey pokey through the kitchen while we sprinkle flour all around!
