That's nice Tink. I don't know if I'm going to be able to make waves about Christmas and birthdays. We do have to choose our battles, but I really would love to start a new tradition about gifts for the children.

I do not enjoy just throwing money down at Toys R Us for gifts that are meaningless.

Maybe by summer, when they all have their birthdays, I'll be able to make a change.
However, like I said, I'm going to be careful about which battles I choose - it's not important enough to start any real trouble over.

I have lots of Grandma stuff, Kate. When I retired, I "gifted" myself with wonderful science books, a real microscope, and all kinds of lovely things. I knew the Dept. of Ed. would want me to have them, so I just didn't discuss it with them!

I'm going to go through the huge carton they're sitting in tomorrow. It weighs a ton,
but I'll get it upstate.
