we never had a tree,why would we dewell upon things we could not afford or need. we had a roof over our heads and a bed shared between 4 girls..food on the table most times only bread, butter and mollasass but it hit the spot.one gift if we were lucky, but it didn't matter. we had a father we adored and a mother who adored us...and brothers as well.I look back the only thing I miss is my father who has went ahead of the rest of us..must stop writting now for the tears are falling...thank you for the read;

Oh these are the best memories! Just looking at the picture here gives me a small surge of joy!
I wish I could go back there and stay forever.
I suppose in a way I do, I haven't growed up yet and I never want to.

Everything seemed to be magic and perfect.
Santa Claus, gifts... and above all...the innocence in the eyes of children.

Morning Jeremy
I have the time now to be back
I had a great summer, out on the lake
but now it is cold, and I am happy indoors
So nice to have you read me, Rick
