8 December 2015 : Hockey Collection

5758.HockeyWrapper

You might know that I collected hockey cards as a kid. As I got older, I started collecting the wrappers in which the cards came wrapped. In most cases, kids just chucked the wrapper to get the cards. But I thought they made for a pretty cool collectible. Although I don’t collect any more, occasionally I still check eBay to see if there is one I’ve never seen. Last week I found this one from 1957. The opening bid was $995. I passed.

5 December 2015 : December, 2010

5 years ago while we were on sabbatical in France, Melinda's parents, Dwight & Michele, along with her sister, Brenda, her husband, Greg, and their daughter, Perrin, met us in Paris for a family vacation. In the spirit of it being Michele's birthday yesterday, I present her, and the rest of us, with this photographic remembrance.
