Christmas Windows Vi - Sleigh Ride

Bundled up      huddled up
                and
                     rosy cheeked
                my wooly-capped son and I
    listen to the bell-runner's song
                             beneath a lowering sky

LOVE this one, Daver. Very nice, and I think I saw all your Windows series. LUv, bye now. I have movie day in Salt lake today and I also have to turn Joe's shirts and keys into his old job. (hope I don't get lost up there!!) He is on the road for another company now, trucking in ARizona and his first truck broken air conditioning. This is what I call. Luck of the JOE

A memory, like a winter holiday card. Almost Norman Rockwell in my mind, but not quite, just so much more. You paint a very strong feeling. It is so rich. Precious moment together, you with your son. A beautiful Christmas Window. Love, Shar
