Christmas 2001

Pre-Christmas festivities

Robin and I attended the annual Holiday of Lights display at the Del Mar track. The movement of the car made some interesting pictures as we made our way around the track.

Christmas Eve...

Tom came down Christmas eve and spent the night. The evening started a little rough... Tom's transmission drained all its fluid as he pulled into my driveway. Not a good way to start a holiday. The prognosis - unfortunately - DOA. Tom bought a new (used car) a couple of days later. Bummer.

Tom, George and I had Christmas dinner together -- but Robin was sick, so she had to stay home.


Christmas Day...

On Christmas morning, Tom and I opened gifts from mom. I always knew mom loved Tom best. She made him a beautiful green afghan.

Robin was feeling better by the day after Christmas, so George, Robin and I got together to open our gifts.
