YAY DD2 is coming home! It sounds like the same day my little cherubs are coming home too. I'm not even close to being ready, but I can't wait!

Needless to say, I have the poster and the soundtrack.<br /><br />There's a magazine called "Reminisce" (they have a fabulous website) that has photos of people and their stories from the 40s, 50s, and 60s... I sat yesterday and looked at the website for hours! There were couples that got married on radio and tv shows (and were given honeymoons and furniture as prizes), people who met because of spilled milkshakes and all sorts of misadventures... so romantic!Marchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201825708442679157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-84086913107178037662012-12-19T12:00:12.075+00:002012-12-19T12:00:12.075+00:00In 1967 something happened which makes me so grate...In 1967 something happened which makes me so grateful for my brother and sister, and emotional at every Christmas since. <br />My father had died a few months before. (My mother had died 7 years previously). As a 12yr old, I convinced myself that Christmas was not going to happen in our house. I just didn't see how it could.<br />Somehow, my 17yr old sister and 20yr old brother gave me Christmas.<br />I can still remember unwrapping a clown ornament, a game of Monopoly, and a pencil case in which my brother had placed some money. And books. There was food. And some fun.<br />They took care of me, and continued doing so until I reached 18. Love? Duty? Christian kindness? <br />I was so, so lucky, in unfortunate circumstances. Christmas brings it all back. Each year, I am 12 years old again, in 1967.the veg artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04029588460808570133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-91960336400120300022012-12-19T05:18:33.291+00:002012-12-19T05:18:33.291+00:00Doesn't the time fly!
