“Glædelig Jul,” which is “merry Christmas” in Danish, in honor of my Eskildsen ancestors who immigrated to America in the late 1800’s. There are many other ways to express holiday greetings, but however you chose to do it, may your holiday season be happy and bring you close to family and friends. #merrychristmas #holidays #danishContinue reading “Glædelig Jul!”

Tis the Season
It’s the holiday season, so these trees might be a little confusing to anyone who isn’t local. They are turning color just in time for the holidays, unlike their northern cousins who dropped their leaves weeks ago. It may seem a little weird, but that’s just how they do it here. #silverriver #holidays #season #autumncolors

We couldn’t wait any longer; the holiday season has begun. For me Halloween season is a magical time and a fun kind of scary that I have enjoyed since childhood. Bring it on! #halloween #witches #holidays

Nearly always an airplane was involved, usually one that Dad had built or restored. They took us to heights and places above and beyond what we could ever have imagined, and it didn’t really matterContinue reading “Flights of Mind”
Tis the Season
And jolly we were as we took in the sights of holiday decorations during a recent evening walk through the neighborhood. It was a lovely way to celebrate the beginning of winter and the holiday season. We really do enjoy the decorations, the holly, the lights and sounds, but our favorite is the mistletoe. #ChristmasContinue reading “Tis the Season”
Banjolele Bear
It looks and sounds like a banjo, but has four strings and plays like a ukulele. It was a gift from a patient a few years ago since I kept a ukulele in my office and often played for them after the visit was concluded. The banjolele is probably around 90 years old and hadContinue reading “Banjolele Bear”
