57 Times

Time marches on and this will be my 57th Christmas...Big shout out to the Mayans for getting it wrong!  Either life was easier when I was 10 years old, anticipating my little Sony transistor radio that I circled in the Sears "Magic" catalog or my mind is playing senior moment games in my head. 

I used to help make tamales, now I can't eat them.  I loved gazing upon Ribbon Christmas candy, now you can't find it. The ornaments that we hung are now Vintage and back in the day, no one heard of Gift Cards.

But 57 years later, I have an amazing husband, 2 kind and fun daughters, 3 squirrely grandsons that I love to pieces and family and friends that are the glue that keeps me together and happy.



                                                             (this is what I grew up with)




~I am wishing everyone of you a very Merry Christmas and many more memories in the making~

  1. Merry Christmas, Bunny & Family!

    PS: I saw some of that ribbon candy at Target! Hubby pointed it out, because we both remember it from when we were young.

    1. Oops, it was Walmart. It was called Sevigny's Thin Ribbon Candy.

    Thankfully, we never got one of those "tin foil"
    trees. :)

  3. We had that tin foil tree along with the color wheel flood light.

    We also had a cardboard Fireplace with fake fire we st up each year.

    It was great.

    I got a Panasonic AM/FM radio as a youngin. Wish I still had it.

    I hope you guys have a truly blessed Christmas.

  4. Bunney Honey I sure have missed you! First thing I thought when I opened up your site is that Bunny is still creating the cutest headboards and backgrounds.
    I always loved seeing what you would come up with next.
