Hi all,
I know this is late, but yesterday most of the day
with holiday in the way, dealing with last minute
shopping errand for my mother, assist with Holiday
Train Garden at my fire house for private tour,
prepared & rearranged presents for fire dept members'
children during our Santa Fire Truck Ride on X-mas
Eve, duty crew most of the day at the fire house too.
Also trying to fix one of my model train that blew an
engine (has three different trains to run around tree
and across large table). I wish you all a great
holiday over the weekend and safe driving too!
