Christmas

It would seem that my life stopped at Thanksgiving, but it didn't. I had the privilege of visiting sister Modine and her brood (5 grand nieces and nephews) some 2000 miles away for the Christmas Holidays. I think it has been at least 25 years since I had been around children at such a time. It was a wonderful experience and one that I will cherish for a long, long time.

But how different things are now than when sister and I were children. The toys are so much more complicated and expensive now. And because they are usually electronic ones of some sort or other, the kids have their noses in them all the time. I hardly had a conversation at all with any of them.
