Christmases at Grandma's House


My 800th blog happens to fall during my 31 days of Christmas challenge.

What better way to commemorate a milestone blog than to reminisce about childhood Christmases.

Even though my last Christmas with grandma was 1982, I still remember the sights, sounds and smells.

Driving up to Grandma's on Christmas Eve and staying overnight in the tiny attic.  Stumbling down the stairs Christmas morning - red kitchen radio playing, bacon frying, coffee percolating on the stove, cookie jar that looks like a school house, turkey in the oven, kitchen table and chairs that look like scrambled eggs.  Presents.  Christmas dinner.  Long ride home.

This is me at grandma's house, scanned with my Epson V600 from a photo.

31 Days of Christmas


Today begins my second annual month of "Christmasy" blogs.

Back in 1977, KFC was giving away these lovely candles during the month of December.

Living the High Life


I have no idea who these people are.  But I think the guy in the middle thinks he's hot stuff.  It's all about the socks.

Scanned this from some of my mom's color negs and stylized it.
