Thanks Folks for your view and words!! Didn't realize the photo of us didn't appear with the poem - together they are the "Christmas Card" we sent out. The photo of us is on the rim of the Grand Canyon (Iknow, you can't tell it, but it is) that I put a "freebie" border around, and added the text . . . was fun to do!! My grand daughter (13) calls us old codgers - now I have to ask, do we look like "codgers"?? And OLD? We're 69 (I married a youngster) and I'm only 71 on the 3rd of this month ... and I Know some of you are really OLDer than me, er, sorry Jerry, but I won't name any of the girls!!

Well, I am so glad I felt like peeking in once again on your Christmas poem, dear Jimmy. It was a lovely surprise to find you and your wife smiling at me in that great picture. Much enjoyed. I have no idea what "codgers" means, but of course I can imagine.

Love and peace.

ps ok I checked "codgers" on the dictionary and found the perfect German word for it "Kauz ..." we say that too "ein alter Kauz" !

Jimmy a beautiful photo of your wife and you. Time to change the one you have been using on these blue pages. You are both just children.You are still youngsters. Yes I will soon be 83 and still find it fun to entertain my grandchildren and six great grandchildren
If I can still get them to laugh at my stories and snap bubble wrap together in crazy ways I will never accept the words "OLD Codger" LOL
Have a great Holiday and New year. Jo
