The holidays are tough enough... Love your old photos. I always wonder as I'm looking at all the details and people why I'm doing that. I mean, seriously, I don't know any of those people or places... I think it's because you care so much about all of it.

My friend John who had both knees replaced on Monday called me last night. He's hurting but optimistic that things will get better from here on out! I'll go visit him tomorrow (Christmas). :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-70060509644081354442014-12-24T07:41:27.597-06:002014-12-24T07:41:27.597-06:00Love the old photos.
