goodbye christmas

it got cold enough to have a fire, so daddy built one

and mama  made the most amazing cheese ball ever. 

oh. and turkey. 

chris just said in reference to pearls strung on twine...

'i'm not sure if that's scriptural, anne...might be casting your pearls before twine....'

{..}oh...

our family. 

dawn's bone necklace for anne.  she says it's sanitary and for anyone who doesn't think so, to ask her about the cleaning process and she'd be glad to tell them all about it. 

anne liked it of course.  the only condition was that she had to wear it to school one day.

my brothers do have a way of expressing their approval or disapproval.

when i asked abe what he thought about my sweater he said,

'you know, i don't why people like that color.

looks like someone threw up lasagna on a yellow shirt.  why don't they just keep it one color

or the other - either yellow or orange???'

goodbye christmas until next year. 

you've been a good'n 

for sure.
