A New Face

Wow! It's hard to believe, but the day I look forward to all year has come and gone. What a wonderful Christmas it was. Everyone was home for the occasion, we all enjoyed ourselves, the grand kids saw Santa on Christmas Eve, all the grandchildren (except for Joey) are now proud owners of their own sleeping bags, and we're happy and content. Now that makes for a memorable day.

Speaking of memorable days, 2 days before Christmas, Christina came over and Roger walked out of the kitchen to make a phone call. Chrissy says to me, "what happened to Dad's moustache?" I tore into the living room, got right up to Roger's face and almost fainted. He had shaved his moustache of 40+ years and I hadn't noticed. The sad fact is that he had shaved it the morning before Chrissy came over. So, for 1 and a half days, I never noticed that the facial hair that has graced my husband's face for so long was gone. Now I've always prided myself in being rather aware of my surroundings and taking notice of new things. How did I miss this one? I'll never know, but around our household there is a new face and mine is bright red!!!
