Antiques & Traditions


Today had me thinking of "The Old Days" - Antiques, Rag dolls, Attic treasures Etc - It is Christmas Week, so I always get a little nostalgic during this time of the year - Thinking of my Grandmother, the traditions we used to have - Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Day ... How things have changed since her passing ... How some things have stayed the same ...

I look forward to Friday and Saturday when we get to see our families ... Always nice to be together!
