Our Last Christmas Together-2008

Our humble abode was especially nice around Christmas time because Karen liked to do a certain measure of decorating even though it became more scaled down every year.

We always said that we were only going to buy each other a small gift or two each year. Usually, however, it ended up being a little more than that. We certainly didn't need anything as far as gifts went, but after all, that is what it is all about, right?

During the winter we played a lot of games together. We had become stuck on playing Rummikub for the longest time so a different game was definitely in order.


Karen always liked reading about her heritage and the pioneers that settled the great Northern Plains. Maybe because she was "Plain Folk" and would very well have fit right in during that era.



And there was always something for the love of her cats.
