for Wednesday December 21st...........4 days to Xmas

1964. Xmas at Grandma B's apartment. The Baby is Steven (2.14). I learned later in life how important these parties were to our KDB. She planned and shopped and worried and got each of us a very special present and treats. In the 70's it got to be too much for her and she no longer gave these parties. Her last years she lived with us at 641. I remember going in to visit her in her room and she always had time to visit and talk. She lived for 94 years. Some asked her what her biggest regret in life was. She replied "My third marriage". We kids were all in total shock. I don't know why Russ (2.5a), Jim (2.4a) or Mary Ella (2.1a) were not in the picture.
