It's not that it's been elaborate, just that it's been really, really nice. All sorts of little pieces of magic have come our way - from a beautiful Guamanian screen given to us by a new friend to meeting a young woman from Illinois, to the sweet and gentle Christmas morning we had right here in River City (that would be Three Rivers, CA, in case you didn't know) and the crying my eyes out at Marley and Me.
I've promised my daughter more photos of myself - something I resist 'cuz I don't photograph well. Here I am Christmas morning, happy and warm in a brand new sweater.
How to tell Scottie's favorite gift? Well, the fact that I couldn't get the biking sunglasses off him might be a clue. It was "take my picture in my new shirt (with my glasses)." " Take my picture with my new saw (and my glasses)." And so on and so forth. He does photograph well.
About that screen:
This is it. Given to us by a lady who we met when we went to buy a cement mixer. That's right - given to us. Today Sarah and Bobby arrive from San Diego, and tomorrow we have a party - - it's not over yet!
