Christmas down South

Daddy working on his pills... We're talking a project that takes him several hours.


Lee's brother made these beautiful wine glasses

Daddy's new book - 50th anniversary Playboy history

Now that's a frown

Gordon commented on his frown in another photo (I could tell he was smiling!).

This was our first (and only) formal family portrait. For some reason.

Is Amazon cool, or what?

I just love how easy it was to shop this year. Nearly everyone I shop for had wish lists on Amazon, and I just let my fingers do the shopping. Piece of cake! And I was given stuff I really wanted, since most people used my wish list to shop from. Those Amazon folks are genius!

I also did just a bit of shopping on eBay. Got coats for Jem and my Dad that would have been crazy expensive brand new and at full retail (Land's End and Eddie Bauer).

I hope Jem's fits him. It looked kind of smallish, but it is a 5/6, so hopefully is fine.

Running out of time

Golly, this is a short Christmas season! I just realized there are only about two-and-a-half weeks until Christmas. I have finally started my shopping, but am not even halfway there. Thank goodness for the Internet!

Oh, and there are those pesky birthdays to take care of, too. And since they're my children, I have only myself (okay, and their dad!) to blame for the timing.... I love you, Chiquitas!
