Just a few musings on the holiday season:
Your dad and I made a deal that we wouldn't get each other anything for Christmas. We even shook on it. So Christmas morning we went out and exercised and then came back in and opened presents. That took about 5 seconds. Then I happened to see an envelope under the tree. It had my name on it. Well, it was a very sweet Christmas card from your dad. And he had written a poem to me. Well, I bawled for a little bit and then I was upset. He, in my opinion, had broken the deal. What say you???? (Just for the record, I wasn't upset for the whole day - just part of the day)
I want you all to give it up for two family favorites that have been with the family for many years. We had to retire them this last week. They were the treadmill (Vitamaster) and the mixer (K-Tech) So of course, we had to get new ones. And you all know Dad's rule about getting new things. I dare you to picture that!!!!!

That was TMI, even though it made Mike and I laugh out loud for a couple minutes straight. And my opinion would be that Dad is in the clear.
I wish I could have seen that. The memory of Dad crying at the end of Pure Country is burned into my memory.
Also, what is Dad's rule about buying new things?
Jim, I cried at the end of Pure Country also, but then I cried at the end of Best of the Best as well.
