“Here’s one of me in front of the Christmas tree holding my cat Mittens.
She doesn’t look too pleased. Guessing about 1970.”

“I’m a lurker but faithful longtime reader.
I just like this picture so much, especially the woman with the cigarette.
This was about 1983.”

Cindi is cute. Lucky little dudes.

Merry Christmas.

That lead tinsel was formidable stuff. When we took down the tree we would collect all the tinsel and crush it down to a little ball a little bigger than a golf ball and then you could hold it in your fist and PUNCH your brother in the shoulder and it wasn’t no
My uncle Ray used to SAVE the tinsel and reuse it from year to year which I I thought w

Things happened with the keyboard. Point is, Uncle Ray was weird but he turned me on to bubble lights which I have some on my tree right now and they’re an essential part of the decorations. Got mine forty years ago and they STILL WORK, most of ’em.

Stacy’s expression says, “This is not Santa, it’s creepy Uncle Dave.”

@John Revolta: My God, I had forgotten bubble lights. We’d didn’t have them but family friends did. That must have been 50 + years ago, so you got real modern ones.

@Baud: I knew you would say something like that.

@Baud: I know! I was going to ask if Cindi was the hot babysitter but I thought that might be disrespectful. Oh, what the hell, by Christmas next year Santa will have forgotten and Rich will (hopefully) have forgiven me.

Okay, this post was an editing fail. It has a mix of new photos and a couple of photos from last week. I got a WordPress message as I was creating the post that there was a different version of this message, did I want to revert to that? I guess the answer should have been yes.
Now I am wondering what photos were supposed to be in here, but weren’t. sigh.
Elma
@WaterGirl: I was surprised to see my pics reappearing. Coincidentally, in this morning’s snail mail was a Christmas card from my cousin Carol, who is in the tinsel pic with me.
WaterGirl
@Elma: I am less concerned about the double-posting :-) and more concerned about the ones that were supposed to be in here and are not here. I don’t have a good way to figure out what’s missing.

Actually, Cindi’s my sister. She’s four years older than me and I’m four years older than Dave. She’s now the divorced mom of a my niece, who’s now halfway through law school.

@Rich2506: I bet she is still beautiful!
