At Least Someone is Enjoying the Snow!

 We have a few chipmunks that live in our stone wall & under our back steps.  This morning they were out playing all over on the patio!

 So I got my camera & took some photos!  ( what a surprise!)

 They zipped around very quickly--would have liked to have shot some video but they were too fast!

 How's this for a pose?

Merry Christmas!

I found two Christmas dinner photos & couldn't decide which one to post so here they both are!

 The top one is at my maternal grandparents in 1951--my Mom on the left, her Father at the head of the table, then 2 family friends and me!

This one is at our house in 1955.  I know it's hard to tell but the tablecloth is felt with felt cutouts sewn all over it--made by my Mom.  That's her on the left, then my sister Judie and my paternal grandmother Copeland.

I have really enjoyed sharing all these photos--they have brought back a flood of memories!

Day Twenty Four--- 1 Day til Christmas

A favorite photo of mine--the colorized version of a photo taken for the family Christmas card--early 50's

Day Twenty Three--2 Days til Christmas

Christmas 1952.  What I love about this photo isn't the record player & records, but the cabinet in the background that my father made and painted with primitive PA Dutch figures & symbols

Day Twenty Two--3 Days til Christmas

Starting 2 weeks after I got married I worked at a store called the China Shop and was there til just before my 62nd birthday!  A great place to work--we had a lot of fun--wonderful bunch of people to work with!

We started decorating for Christmas in October --every year there was different themes for the trees

We gifted wrapped for free ( who does that anymore?) .  I have lots of good memories of the time I spent there!

Day Twenty One--4 Days til Christmas

Love those glasses!  Taken at our house --I'm going to guess 1987 or 1988.  Alan & I with our  black lab, Tessa.

Sorry the photo is so light...Aunt Kay in front between my parents--Tom, Judie, Alan & me

Day Twenty--5 Days til Christmas

Christmas 1953.  My paternal grandmother was a nurse & I think maybe she had given us  the outfits & the kits.  I'm the one with the big smile, Judie has a devilish twinkle in her eye!  Guess we're both thinking who we can practice on!
