For this edition of Memory Monday my daughter provided the inspiration.
I posted this photo in a collection on Facebook. We moved a lot when I was a child and were living in this "modern" split level on Christmas 1968. This would be a posed snapshot of me writing in a new diary. I would not have done this in real life with an audience.
I would like you to ignore my green mini dress and fishnet stockings, the gift boxes from Lazarus Department Store in Columbus that I still use to store ornaments and my favorite suitcase of all time and notice the little elves on the windowsill behind me. My mother always decorated with them.
She gave them to my youngest daughter a year or so before she died. Here they are on a shelf at her house this Christmas.
My daughter saw the elves on the windowsill behind me and alerted me and reminded me that they are her elves now!
And - drum roll - I wrote my Christmas cards yesterday and took them to the post office.
