It even has a broken wing, but that doesn't stop her from putting it on the mantle each year, despite my objections! She says she loves it, which can be the only explanation for why it comes out...<BR/><BR/>As for the stove - a new one would be great in our house too! Except that our current one is the smallest stove you can get and a new one would require a complete re-work of the entire kitchen because of the location...maybe next year!<BR/><BR/>I've got a couple of people to get things for yet...my mom, m-i-l and sister. We made the rule of only 1 gift and it must be 'for the house' and then our stockings which Santa fills with candy, fruit and jelly beans!<BR/><BR/>Having just a few things yet to do means more time to enjoy!Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677808307727487766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-1164912938708878252006-11-30T13:55:00.000-05:002006-11-30T13:55:00.000-05:00The kids are 95% shopped for, the tree is up and d...The kids are 95% shopped for, the tree is up and decorated, my girlfriend and I get gifts for both of us that we can use so, I just went and got us a spanking new stove with all the bells and whistles on it so I can cook her all the goddies she likes! (I didn't spend 10 years in Europe sightseeing, I learned some old school cooking while I was there :-)<BR/><BR/>Speaking of gifts from the heart, I noticed that my mom still hangs the little ceramic wreath I made for her back in 1st grade...kinda brought a tear to my eye to see it and, see how she still takes care of it as if it was worth millions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
