I'm glad my classmates aren't running the country! From most of the email stuff they forward to me, their political views are a WHOLE LOT different from mine! I just read and delete, if I'm not in agreement. Different strokes for different folks, I think it's called. :>)

My childhood trees always looked fabulous. Then I found a picture amongst my mother's things from Christmas 39, a year I very much remember, and it was a small tree, sitting on a chest of drawers. I am almost sorry that I found that picture, it does not match what I had in my mind for so many years.

So true, and especially as I flip through sites looking for gifts and get so easily distracted by things I'd like to have...it's taking me forever to finish my list! josh

Well, I am glad you were able to get back in, and pot your picture after all. I was hoping, getting the tread going would help. The pop bottle is just a bit east of Edmond Oklahoma, near the round barn in Arcadia. The place is called Pops. They sell pop from all over the world, have a diner, and gas station. Nice shiny new place, that even bus tours stop at to eat. We stop there often, but mostly to use the nice clean rest rooms. :) Moni
