Owl Together Now

I had one owl of a week.

Everywhere I went,

they seemed to be there.

It was a real hoot!

Love these 70's holiday cards.

Printed in Belgium for the

Marcel Schurman Co.

And these two guys were

looking for a place to nest.

Another box of cards.

Printed in Switzerland.

Also from Marcel Schurman Co.

This Hi-Brow card

is much better in person.

It has a shiny

foil-like finish.

Aren't the graphics great

on this card?

That's all for the owls.

Now on to Christmas.

I love how the reflectors look

against the white tree.

Thanks Jean!

The misters Snow and Claus.

Pretty bulbs in a bowl.

I just found this little angel lady

at a local thrift store.

Her dear little deer were

waiting for her at the next store.

Nesting Santas and little snowman

were a gift from my sister

when our kids were little.

These have nothing to do with Christmas but they

come out of the closet every year with the

Christmas decorations.

Mikhail Gorbachev was president

when we adopted our boys.

We are thankful to him for

his part in ending the cold war,

so we like to make him part of

our Christmas.

The other guys are just

along for the ride.

And here is a picture from our

small town Christmas parade.

I always cry at the parade.

I don't know why.

Maybe because it's so

Norman Rockwell.

Or maybe I'm just

a big baby.
