<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Family Christmas Card.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My only concern with this picture is that Barbie is</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">one of the original Barbies of 1959,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">the man standing next to her is Ken's friend Alan from the mid 60's, her little sister Skipper is from early 60's, little boy is Ricky Alan's little brother of the late 60's (my mind is wandering...)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">so this looks like either....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1. Ken is dead or divorced from Barbie.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2. Barbie has taken on Ken's younger best friend Alan as either an adopted son</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">or a cougar town romance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3. Barbie is supporting her sister Skipper, Ken's friend Alan and Alan's brother Rickie and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">leads a life of obsessively making their lives perfect.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4. It is obvious that Barbie is no longer a teenager model</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">(although I thought she never looked teenage)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">and is getting extensive/expensive plastic surgery to maintain her</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1950's look...for Alan of course.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Oh Barbie. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">How things have changed </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">from when we hung out together in the 1960's.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Whilst I was looking at Barbie stuff, I stumbled upon this</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">cute little deer card.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It really appealed to me!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So....here it is.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Santa Lucia Day </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is considered primarily a </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Scandinavian holiday</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that starts on December 13,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what ancient Scandinavians considered</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the longest day of the year according to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
an ancient calendar.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is often referred to as the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Festival of Lights.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although it is said to have Roman origins.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is also celebrated in different forms across Europe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is primarily known as a</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Scandinavian holiday, though.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have always paid attention to it as it falls on my birthday,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and starts the 12 days of Christmas!</div>

My granddaughter Daphne had her turn to stay the night last night.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She will be 5 years old next week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her mom starts school every day at 9:00 am,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so at 8:50 she walked out our front door.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She headed home and then excitedly ran back into our house.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Look Nana! There's kitty prints on the front step!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And the grass is crunchy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can see my breath!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got excited too!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Bring Autumn's pleasant weather; </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The moorcock springs on whirring wings </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.robertburns.org/works/glossary/39.html">Amang</a> the blooming heather: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now waving grain, wide o'er the plain, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Delights the weary farmer; </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And the moon shines bright, when I rove at night, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To muse upon my charmer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The partridge loves the fruitful fells, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The plover loves the mountains; </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The woodcock haunts the lonely dells, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The soaring hern the fountains: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thro' lofty groves the <a href="http://www.robertburns.org/works/glossary/479.html">cushat</a> roves, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The path of man to shun it; </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The hazel bush o'erhangs the thrush, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The spreading thorn the linnet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thus ev'ry kind their pleasure find, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The savage and the tender; </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some social join, and leagues combine, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some solitary wander: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Avaunt, away! the cruel sway, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tyrannic man's dominion; </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sportsman's joy, the murd'ring cry, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The flutt'ring, gory pinion! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, Peggy dear, the ev'ning's clear, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.robertburns.org/works/glossary/1668.html">Thick</a> flies the skimming swallow, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sky is blue, the fields in view, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All fading-green and yellow: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Come let us stray our gladsome way, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And view the charms of Nature; </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The rustling corn, the fruited thorn, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And ev'ry happy creature. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We'll gently walk, and sweetly talk, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.robertburns.org/works/glossary/1695.html">Till</a> the silent moon shine clearly; </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll grasp thy waist, and, fondly prest, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Swear how I love thee dearly: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not vernal show'rs to budding flow'rs, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not Autumn to the farmer, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So dear can be as thou to me, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My fair, my lovely charmer!</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A few weeks ago, our kiddos came to Idaho to help</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">us with some Fall chores.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Blowing out the sprinklers on the three homes,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">planting bulbs,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I took the above pictures in October 2011.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We lived in Pocatello again, in an old house</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
built in 1911.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
100 years old.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pictures are from the neighborhood.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My husband had been in bed for 1 year,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the possibility that I might not have him in my life on this earth</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
was very real.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He needed 24 hour care.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I slipped outside to enjoy the Fall leaves and took a few</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pics with my little camera.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't explain the joy I felt in re-discovering</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
our gorgeous Idaho Autumn.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God's creations lift my soul.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a very joyous</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
rendition of one of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my favorite hymns.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have always loved a fire in the home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have had many different kinds of fire vessels over the years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A Franklin,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a modern wood burner,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a fireplace or two, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
an antique pot bellied stove,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a Jodel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately my asthma has curtailed my love</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of wood heat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, we have gone propane.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our stove looks kind of like a combination of these </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
white stoves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has a burner on top if I want to cook something </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

I love my stove.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of course I love old stoves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am a lover of old things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a style and craftsmanship</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that has faded with time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although, I just found out one can buy these new lovely stoves below.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aren't they wonderful?</div>

I have stopped taking pictures the past few years.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am self-taught and felt like I couldn't make any more progress</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
regarding my picture taking skills, so I got discouraged.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have made a vow to just try again, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and to stop being so picky.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can tell you everything wrong with that picture...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
yet it makes me happy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And so....I am going to try to take pictures</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to just make me happy.</div>

when she graduated from Nevada State University</div>

in the 19-teens.</div>

which I never saw in other pics of her.</div>
