Christmas Day on Ramada Drive

Friends, kids and grandkids to the left.

A new version of Monopoly to the right. It looks like they just added about 5 or 6 zeroes to all the numbers, changed the railroads to airports, and left Atlantic City and New York in the lurch as the properties are scattered all over the country and are not limited to streets. Oh, and there are debit cards to keep your money straight.

It looks like fun, though without much scope for stretching the rules. That is a pair of underwear on the top of the Monopoly game, a bow to the Spirit of Christmas Past in our memories.

That is the sunroom to the right, temporarily converted to a playroom for grandchildren and their numerous gifts from China.

And of course, the leftovers from our gigantic Christmas Dinner. We should have invited all the hungry of Billings.

"We should have invited all the hungry of Billings." Next time let me know and I'll wrangle a couple of dozen for you. ;-)

Hope you had a Merry Christmas.

Thanks for the suggestion Randy my friend but that was a rhetorical device only activated one or two days a year.

“In beholding old stones we may feel our anxieties about our achievements–and lack of them–slacken . . . Vast landscapes [and seascapes] can have an anxiety–reducing effect similar to ruins, for they are the representatives of infinite space, as ruins are the representatives of infinite time, against which our weak, short-lived bodies seem no less inconsequential than those of moths or spiders.”—Alain de Botton in Status Anxiety
