My Christmas Gifts

I received little this year and this is OK since during the year I buy pretty much everything I need.  A new shirt, Sudoku White Belt book, multi-task light , a diamond encrusted knife sharpener and a few small surprizes were this years gifts.  The knife sharpener is my favorite as it really sharpens a Stainless Steel knife quickly and sharp enough to shave with.  My next is a deck of Hillary Clinton cards.  These will be worth a fortune when she is President.

Christmas Eve 2007

SAM & I tried to call the twins this for their birthday evening but got the old answering machine.  Sorry twins we tried so we left a message – a poor substitute – but better than nothing we hope.

Grandsons DJ & Garrett were here over night and at Ann’s for Christmas Dinner Sunday night.  We all had a great time but as usual Grandpa slept through about an hour of the festivities.  This morning we opened all the Christmas presents and Jess was there also.  SAM spent a LOT of time this season getting everything ready and did a good job but I fear was under appreciated by most.   Here are Garretts hunting trophies for this season.

Daughter Beth from Germany (Garrett & DJ’s Mom) was unable to make it here in time because of new rules by USA regarding entry on temporary passports.  They will be here in a couple of weeks but it will not be the same as the cast of characters has dispersed for another year.  They being Ingo, Beth and new grandson Alex.

Today SAM returned a few christmas items, I slept some this afternoon and Jess vegetated on the couch reading “The Earth is Flat”.  Now we are each in our own corner do some things.  SAM & I prused www.mooredynasty.com and found several new areas that appear interesting.  Like we found the Christmas Letter 2007.  It was well written.

I also received Chuck W’s Christmas Letter and really enjoyed that as I was a room mate for about 4 years while living in the Detroit area on work assignments.  My assignment for this holiday is to resurect old christmas Letters and make an Archive.
