Christmases Past

Can you remember what you got for Christmas 25 years ago?  Well, I can.  One of my students gifted me this sweet little artist nutcracker.  I combined it with a picture of me teaching a first grade class back then.  My, does this take me careening back in time!  But Christmas, like Thanksgiving, is a prime time for memories.  I unwrapped a few yesterday while I was finishing up decking the halls.

Washer/Dryer update:  Steve and I did the first wash in my new machine and it worked perfectly!  No drips or leaks!  Whoo Hoo!  A cause for celebration!  First load washed and dried and I am feeling really blessed this morning.
