Christmas in NC - Clara's View

Hi Granma!
Yummm, nummies!
Do you want Mama to hold your money Jack?  Nope.  (He says nope a lot now)
Helping Aunt June unpack her stocking
The two Carl's
Feeding the chickens
Texture garden, introducing Ben to Lamb's Ear
Love those boots!
All sorts of transportation options at Granmas house!
Tromping through the field, hunting for golf balls
Look what I found Mama!
Well, I see the merits of your car Jack, but it lacks the freedom and maneuverability of my motorcycle.
Beware of Baby, Ben.  He might look sweet and whistle to you and say nice things, but he'll turn on you in a second!
Ima gonna get you!
Jack and Ben, awwwwwww
Who's that on the roll phone Jack?
Hey, have you guys had a chance to check this book out yet?
Here, take a look, you won't regret it!

We had such a lovely time visiting.  We missed a couple members of the family, it's tough synching schedules around the holidays.  Next visit!  Josh, Susan & the boys made it down for the day and everyone had a ball tramping all over the place, exploring and discovering.  The boys had the cutest boots!  Thanks for hosting everything Granma!

  1. This was fun. Seeing you use the pics I took like this. I got to see these for the first time from your angle. Nice. I enjoyed this. Maybe I can get this up to speed here and check out all the photos. It was an enjoyable Christmas, all the way around.

  3. Complement

    The word complement comes from the same root as complete. It has nothing to do with being courteous, and comes directly from Middle English, from the Latin word complementum. Merriam-Webster’s first definition is “something that fills up, completes, or makes perfect”, and it can also be used to mean “the quantity, number, or assortment required to make a thing complete”, though can sound a little odd or old-fashioned in this context:
    We had the full complement of pots and pans.
    Our store does not have enough employees to work the required complement of hours.
    Complement is often used in scientific, technical or academic areas of discourse, where the complement of X supplies what X is missing, thus making a complete whole. Examples of this usage are:
    Complement good (economics)
    Complementary colour (art)
    Complement, my children with their chosen are making me feel whole going on with their lives. :)
