These Boots Were Made for WORKIN'

After many years of trying to convince everyone that I needed a new pair of work boots, I finally convinced my hesitant wife to get me some for Christmas. I think she got them for me so I'd shut up about wanting them. She did a good job picking them out too! She got EXACTLY what I wanted without me helping her out. True, they were made for working but they are just too nice right now to wear them for that. Kim has always been afraid that I would actually wear them in public and that's why she's never gotten them for me, and I will. With no offense to any of my other givers, these boots were the best gift I received this year thanks to my wonderful wife. Okay, I'll stop being oogie, if that's a word. I was going to take a pic of all my gifts to post but I suddenly realized that you probably don't want to see SOME of the gifts, so I decided against it. Here's one, though, that I received from one of my "Other" Mom's that I really loved. It's an ornament that is a replica of Yankee's Stadium in NY. She remembered that I am a baseball fan, fascinated by baseball stadiums and that I collect replicas, so she got me one for our tree. Thank you Sis. Barbara, I love it!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year, blessed to be able to share it with family and friends. Christmas Night, Darin and Carla came over to our apartment and spent a few hours with us. It was great getting to be with them. Strange seeing Darin, excuse me, Dr. Darin, married! Carla is wonderful and we really enjoyed them being with us this year. Don't have any pictures to share of Christmas Day because Kim didn't get her NEW DIGITAL CAMERA until Tuesday, so we are missing those pics, but next year, you better be prepared! Anyway, I hope you all had a great Christmas and have a wonderful New Year!
