Thanks Fun! Merry Christmas to you as well! I enjoy all the smiles here every day as well! There is nothing quite like the light that laughter brings to one's life.

Everybody's gone, all the dishes are done, and I'm going through a pile of old pictures. Among them are some sort of autograph book? They look like words of advice to my grandparents when they first got married, but people continued to write in it. Tears of joy are just streaming down my face! The first one is my grandfather. He was very quiet, but always had a funny little line or two here and there. He did not disappoint with his last line. This next one had to have been written by my mom when she was about 10 or 11. She was always so kind-hearted, and always had the right thing to say. She must have changed a lot between the time she wrote that and what she was like when I knew her.

What should you expect at the end of Christmas Day??? . . . . . . . . . The letter "Y".

Did you hear about the guy who pickpocketed a dwarf? . . . . . How could anybody stoop so low?!
