Christmas Night

Christmas was finally in full swing over here today. The snow delayed us by a day, separating our family with impenetrable roads. Yet, after some pretty anxious waiting we all gathered last night. Now the Eggstrata and Potica have been eaten; the stocking have been pillaged; and all the packages unwrapped. Now I have Andy Williams playing from the stereo... so I am really missing my Mom and Dad. I thought I'd put up some pictures for them, and all our other loved ones very badly missed. Merry Merry Christmas, everyone.






5 AM, alone in the silent house he found the trains.





My father built this with his hands and his love; from the same plans he built the ones for my sibling and I more than a quarter of a century ago.
