Pictures are worth a thousand words






























































Well, you all read that title and knew I wouldn't be able to just put in the pics and leave it at that. You knew I would have something to say, didn't you?

This was the was first time in 29 years that Lanny, Nancy, Kristy, Erica, Craig and Johanna weren't all in one room together for at least a few minutes on Christmas Day. And we managed. We found out that we can celebrate this most Blessed Day with some of ours celebrating Christmas with the other side of the family.

And you know what? It was a good year and great Christmases (two). Maybe next year we will all be together again on Christmas Day . . . and maybe not. But we still will all celebrate the birth of Christ and rejoice in family and kin and little children and it will be good.

We are all in good health. We all have jobs and food enough and roofs over our heads and people that love us and people that we love. Life is good.

































I "plopped" these photos in here and then tried to format them but it wasn't to be. Photos in blogger have a mind of their own, anymore. I cannot make them do what I want.

Second photo up from here -- is that a baby bird in a big pink nest?
