From the Western Union

I DREW ADAM'S NAME

in the Christmas gift exchange with the Maryland relatives.

Busyness prevails here at the Odd Fellows

just now;

I paint a shirt for my 2 year old nephew

to reflect the wise and simple life style

of the Justin Geiman family

into which Adam was born.
The 'Bambi' trailer

is the smallest trailer in the Airstream fleet

and the Geimans have theirs parked in the driveway

ready to go almost on a moment's notice.

It was Rev. Charlie's of Pleasant Valley St. Matthew's, once.

(I would have loved it.)
Now it's recycled for Adam

& family: Big Justin, Vicki The Tall,

Jamel, and Elena.

................

Dee calls me from our bed at 5:45 AM this morning

to show her latest one-up-man-ship of me (smiles).

She took the throw-away back designs

of the cut-up new Mary Estenik gifted Christmas cards

I've been readying for mailing on a post card dime

and fashioned little gift card notes

to go on her gifts.

It promises to be a very MERRY Christmas!
