~~~Christmas 2005~~~Hi
There,
Thought I'd share a few pictures from Christmas since you've
all always been so good about sharing yours. I'm using Mozilla Thunderbird for this message. Never tried it with pictures
before...
Alex, Michelle, and Soulea came over
Thursday, 12/22 ,because that's the only time he had, given the hours he
works. Heather, Ken, Bailey and Anique came over Christmas
Day.
Here's Soulea with Lana, her new
Cabbage Patch Kid, in "The Comfy Chair" (Monty Python fans take note). It's a
recliner with a sheepskin thrown over
it.
.
And, here's her
Dad, Alex
Soulea and
her Mom, Michelle. The pineapple was really good. It's a little
dark, but Big Phil can still be seen in the background doing
Christmas tree duty again. The unique "picture-on-picture" TV
viewing screens can be seen as
well.
Soulea with the
start of the West Coast Branch of this particular
Verryt Family Tree.
Heather and Anique, who was very tired that day due to all the Christmas type activities she'd been whirl-winding
through.
Tried
for a close-up just using software, but I guess I need to learn
it better. Of course, I could have just taken a close-up with the
camera, but no, that would have made
sense...
Anique,
Heather, Denise, Bailey, and Ken, who actually made it this
year!
This shot also shows the vintage Marantz amplifier that powers the
speakers: two cabinets with tweeters and full range speakers are behind the
recliner, and two similar cabinets are diagonally across the room, two
more similar cabinets are behind the love seat, finally,
there are two subwoofers behind the TV. Actually sounds pretty
decent.
As you can see,
Anique was falling asleep on her feet. Not really, she was into something.
Bailey is turning into a handsome young man. He's also extremely
polite, at least he was while he was here...
All-in-all,we had
a wonderful Christmas. It was great to see the kids and grandkids.
Maybe
next time, if everyone's schedules will permit, we can all be in the same room
together.
Happy New
Year!!
Love,
Hans
