Expensive stuff thsi year also for the older ones. Professionally an arcade game can cost as much and new automobile...just don't have that kind of money this year as we retire. Besides could go someplace where they are at for an lot less......anyone know what's "hot" this year for the kids? |

When she and her husband come to visit us this weekend, I'm sure traditional Christmas carols will be playing in our house! |

Along with Andy i gotta say HUMBUG.....never been a great one for christmas. It's for the kids and both the daughters and they kids all have their own lives to live. They know where we are if they want us. If i had my way we would go away again but Anne can't get it off again. |
