James Shopping Spree

My sister Peg and I took James to Target so he could spend his Christmas money from Uncle Bill. James went right to the videos and bought a Scooby Doo movie and Scooby Doo puzzle which did not really surprise me, what did surprise me was he went to the food section of the store and spent the rest on snacks that we usually do not have in the house – Doritos, Oreo Cookies, Ice Cream and pizza. We have been keeping pretty healthy food in the house such as apples, oranges, pears, rice cakes, etc that we have for snacks, I guess James is putting us on notice that we wants a bit more variety in his diet from the 5 kid food groups -cookies, chips, ice cream, pizza and candy (his Aunt bought him a Valentine Day sucker to complete the entree).

Tribute to Criss

Criss is the daughter of Loretta and Charles, Sister to Peg and Chuck, Wife to Kenny and Aunt to James. In her youth, Criss has had more jobs than anyone I know and I hope some day I can get her to list them all, everything from Macgregors Sports to Bell Telephone. She currently works as a nurse where she can torment her brother with big phony needles. I remember her using a guillotine that we used for magic tricks and bringing it into the doctors office. She then put a big sign on it saying “we now do vasectomies”.

Criss currently lives with Kenny at Lake George where they have their own pontoon and enjoy evening strolls across the lake. It was always her dream to live on a lake and she made it happen and hasn’t looked back since.

Bill Picture Archive

Bill is the brother to Mary, Father to 3 children and grandfather to 2. Bill is married to Valerie and is James Uncle and currently lives in Tennessee.

Bill loves working on cars and can fix or solve almost any problem you might have. Mary tells us stories of how Bill and her father would restore old cars and make a profit doing so. My understanding is Howard (Mary and Bills Dad) is very mechanically inclined and that gift has rubbed off on Bill.
