In our family, we don’t usually give gifts to adults for events such as Hanukkah, Mother’s Day, etc. Instead, we come up with creative non-purchased gifts, and/or donations to deserving non-profit organizations. The only requirement is a card explaining the gift/donation, and a couple of verses of cheesy poetry.
For Hanukkah 2013, Sharon and I decided to have a little fun with a gift for our parents … these pictures were put in a small “brag book” photo album (cover at right). Among the gift donations was one to Happy Hollow’s Educational Instruction program. Happily, the goats are still out in full force. However, they no longer have an open area where visitors can pick up birds. Lucky for us, the staff was very helpful in sneaking us into an area where we could take photos with doves from their educational program!
Back to the Future
Just what does that mean?
Looking ahead at years to come…
Or revisiting a favorite scene?
Back to the Future
Recreating the best old poses
Was quite a fun-filled adventure
Especially finding matching clothes-es
Back to the Future
That’s where we’re gonna go
Let’s revisit the 50’s and 60’s
Now get ready for the show!
Sisters!
