Shoot XXI - "Tradition Alive and Well!"

Had to be California with all of those claims to fame! Speaking of fame, I heard from Joani, Michelle, Milt, Mike Di., Peyton, and long-time follower but first time responder HGT Art!

"Merry Christmas!"

For the past forty-plus years the Kennedys have been meeting on Christmas Eve. It started at my Father's apartment in Dorchester and moved into the suburbs when our Dad passed on. The above Christmas ornament has become my favorite to hang as it reflects upon my family - five boys and one girl! 

I hope and pray your Christmas has special moments as well! Send me a pix of your gathering for posting!

Here are some interesting facts about one of our fifty states. Do you know which one? This state boasts of:

the home of Sally Struthers, Children’s author Beverly Cleary, River Phoenix, and Chief Joseph

having more ghost towns than other other state - sixty-four!

being one of two states without self-serve gas stations.

being home to the nation's most photographed lighthouse is the Heceta Head Lighthouse - I have about one hundred shots of this lighthouse!

  

being the home to the world's largest rosary collection 

being the home for the Carousel Museum contains the world's largest and most comprehensive collection of carousel horses

Leaving you with a smile, I hope. . .

This is the end of them, I swear!
