“THE ELEPHANT”

……………………We always tried to pick unusual ornaments….the Elephant, the hand painted glass candy, the bottle of wine and the grapes all came from different stores and different years. The glass bell came from Denmark. The cricket was such a funny looking thing I had to add him to the tree. We had lots of different fruits and vegetable ornaments too……I particularly loved the pine cones that came in a variety of shapes and colors………Over the years some of the color icicles have fallen and broken so I’m very careful with those, but accidents always seem to happen…….I just have to sweep them up and not think about it too much. I just think….well….they’ve gone to Jac and she’s using them to decorate her tree in heaven.
