One of my enjoyments in life is winter and the fun you can have in the snow. Growing up in Wisconsin, winter could get bitterly cold. To enjoy the outdoors you need the proper apparel. Christmas 1975 my wise sister Kathy bought me these Hot Finger mittens. Just as the kathy's bags have traveled around the country so have my Hot Fingers mittens. I have lived in Wisconsin, North Carolina, Mississippi and Washington. For the past 36 years these Hot Fingers have been traveling along with me, serving their purpose keeping my hands nice and toasty on the ski hills and beyond--wherever we may be playing that day. They will be with me along with my kathy's bag in January when Alicia and Owen return from Afghanistan for a visit and a long weekend of skiing at Schweitzer Mountain in Sandpoint, Idaho.
I have always coveted my Hot Finger mittens and will continue to cherish this perfect Christmas gift from my dear sister Kathy so many years ago.
These 2010 Christmas photos will also be cherished forever.

May you and your families cherish and enjoy this Christmas,
just as Kathy and her family cherished and enjoy every Christmas together.
My prayer is that you all will be touched by the prefect gift of a baby that came to this earth so many years ago to give us eternal life. "And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully." Ephesians 3:18-19
Wishing you and your families a Very Merry Christmas.
Now there is a Kathy's Bag in Longview Washington! My mom loves her new bag---thanks Debbie :)
