The Breakfast of Champions!!This is the way to start Christmas morning:) Thanks for the cookies Val...I purposely waited to enjoy them with a fresh cup of coffee this morning...and they were worth the wait!
Since you are my one faithful subscriber, I devote this post to you..my sister, the person who has known me longer..and better...than anyone else on this earth! Lucky you!
I have so many wonderful memories of Christmas and all of the traditions that we had...especially on Park Rd. It's funny that you don't really think while you're living in the moment, how much these experiences will help form the person you become. Do you think Dad
ever actually knew what we were getting for Christmas? LOL! I bet he was always more surprised than we were. I still remember standing with anticipation on the stairs with you and Dad while Mom light the tree and took a picture before we got at the presents:) Then watching out the window waiting for Aunt Bert, Uncle John and Nancy to pull into the driveway so that Christmas could be complete. They didn't always make it, but Christmas was always more special when they did. Mom always had a delicious turkey and pies galore. I miss those times so much...even some of the dubious memories hold a place in my heart...we are who we are for a reason, and we wouldn't be who we are today without those experiences...and I'm good with that. My biggest regret is that we lost our parents way too soon and all the memories our kids are missing out on. If they could see our kids now...and how they have all turned out they would be so proud!
Enough nostalgia... On with the merriment!
Merry Christmas Val...I love you.
Till then...I'll say Wen
