Day 20-Tree

Some days these photo-a-day challenges just plain mess with me. Today, it through me a bone. Bought the tree last night. Got the lights on it today. Company arriving any minute. Leaving town right after they leave. I needed something easy today.

Day 19-Childhood Christmas (TBT)

Oh how I hate this photo. Everyone in it (except my sister) looks either goofy or stoned. Yet it hangs on our fridge because it is such a rare photo from my childhood years. I was, for the most part, oblivious to the extent of stress my parents were under as they struggled to understand... Continue Reading →
