Christmas 2003
Christmas is the season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart. - Washington Irving
Christmas 2003; We Received A Special Blessing
This Christmas was special. Sue had been out of the hospital only six weeks after the extensive back surgery and we did not do all our normal Christmas activities. In fact we didn't decorate for Christmas so as to assure the walker and other mechanisms would be safe in the house!We went to Disneyland (by ourselves) on Christmas eve and stayed close to the hearth for the rest of the time. We went to the Christmas play but failed to take pictures and Christmas day was the two of us at home together. That's all we could handle.
Not Many Pictures This Year!
Pau & Sue
Only six weeks after the major back surgery!
One amazing person!
