Christmas 1975

Here it is folks, the latest AND greatest video games of the 1970's!!

My Uncle Ed, who lived in Calgary at the time, had this video game.

I was enthralled!  Imagine playing hours of Pong!

All treats for the eyes from the 1975 edition of the Sears Christmas catalog!

Christmas 1968

Found this on Ebay!  1968 Sears Christmas Wishbook!  You have no idea how excited we were as kids to have this arrive at home.  We fought over it...naturally my older brothers won for first dibs on browsing the pages.

This edition is great...on it is the gift I must have asked for in 1968 (I was 8 years old), which is Major Matt Mason!  And my dear parents were kind enough to get it for me as a Christmas present.

Oh, the hours I spent going through these catalogs....dreaming of train sets and cars and all the many toys one could get.

Milestones from past years....

Steph is out making a difference as a nurse...so proud of her! This is from her Grad of a few years ago...

Our prayer for her....

The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.
