I allowed my Sweetheart to decide when, during the next couple of days, we would share our Christmas giving as a couple. Since my Teresa is a pillar of patience & restraint, She choose last night immediately after my arrival at Her house to exchange our gifts.
I could not possibly have asked for the greatest gift I could imagine. The love of My Sweetie, family and trusted friends. The most satisfying work I have ever had. The memories of our lives I treasure everyday.
The whole day my Dad and I shared in the Bahamas still brings me laughter! TW&T Liquor Store! OMAFA!!
The St. Lou trip with Don & Mike Trent. George's Steak & Shake nametag!
The sweltering Davenport Airshow with Teresa & Russell.
My recent "promotion" to Great Grandpa for little Ember Lee Ellis.
Just to name a few.
The sweet life that is yet to come.
Presents.
How many great gifts does one Man deserve? Thank you all for filling my little bitty piece of this World with Love, laughter, beauty, welcome, and sweetness! Find me humbled and grateful.
Amazing to me that even after Teresa has been witness to my boundless model collection, was the gift of a much coveted, brand new 1/72 Revell PT-579/588 kit.
Safe travels and Merry Christmas to my Model Brethren!
