To help Jackie, I am posting this as a stand alone post where she can see it without having to click on the comments.

My Christmas list has been posted.  It was done as a comment when you helpfully asked where mine and Judy's list was at.  Since many other family members feel it is alright to "hide" their list as a comment under Elizabeth's, rather than making a separate post that can be spotted, I felt that it would be alright to place it under a post that asked for mine.

Don't see Blaine & Judy's list

Waiting for Obama

The day the President came to town. I walked out of my favorite bagel shop straight into a nest of serious looking men straight out of "Men in Black" - and was told the President's bus was coming down the street so he could stop at the Mast General Store.

Our Halloween

Now that I've taught myself how to do this: Mary, Mags, and Mickey, with Laura in the background, getting ready for trick or treat. It was nasty windy and cold in Boone so they came down to Wilkes for the occasion.

A favorite picture: The Critter and Mags the Cat Burgler

The Little Critter

Ok. I think I did this right. Here is the little Critter, back when she was still manageable. She is getting bigger.

And this is her a few weeks ago. You can see her tail. When she runs down the hall it looks like she is being chased by another creature. She can also wrap it around herself like a fur robe.

Christmas list

OK - now that everyone has given up and already bought us something. Or just given up.

For me: the usual. Pens and inks (no ballpoints). Beer or brandy. For books a gift certificate at Amazon or my wish list page
http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/3DUIHL8LJPGBG/ref=cm_sw_r_fa_ws_X7MZqb15DWXP5
Or even better, a gift certificate from Tampa's very own Inkwood Books just across the street from the big Publix in Hyde Park.

For Laura:
Books (check Inkwood if possible): This is not the end of the book by Carrier and Eco
Mrs Robinson's Disgrace by Summerscale
Unapologetic by Spufford
Redshirts by Scalzi
A cover for her Kindle Fire
Smartwood walking socks

We will be there on Saturday and will come down to see Mother on Sunday. Merry Christmas everybody!

Also, where are Scott's & Laura's??

Where is Blaine & Judy's list???

Meghan's Christmas List

     -Forever 21
     -Apple Store (the actual store at the mall)
     -iTunes
     -Target
     -JCPenny's
     -Urban Outfitters

There is one item on Meghan has put on her list this year and it is a Moshi Moshi from Stein Mart. It is an old fashioned phone headset that plugs into your cell phone, for those who aren't sure what it is. The color she would prefer it in is purple.
