Great pictures and memories.....I, too, still have some of those icicles but with 3 cats in the house, it's a no no.... And those leisure suits, now that really brings back memories.....Those were in style when my boys were in High School and my mother would ask them to pick out fabric and she made each of them a suit to wear to the Snow Ball.....I'm going to have to drag out those pictures, WOW.....

As angels go, she is pretty pathetic, but this is the one that has topped our tree for 56 years. She and the stars around her were attached to the bow on my very first Christmas present from the man I would marry in 6 months. The large yellow star is one of many ultra light tree decorations that daughters made in 1981 with 'Shrinky Dinks' for a Norfolk Island Pine that was our tree for several years.

Going through some of my very old photos, and this was one of the few I'd forgotten. This dachshund was quite a character; exhibiting a typical dachshund's idea of fun.

Beautiful pictures, as usual. :) Dawn, those trees look like they are wearing hairnets! So perfectly shaped. The Cliffs of Moher, Ireland
