By Carol Perkins

When we visited Carla last Sunday for JC's Band Christmas Concert, his brother Clint (home from the Army), his sister Dayna and her baby from Huntsville, and his other grandmother, Nancy from Brentwood, sat in the living room with Carla's family, and Guy and me and shared Christmas memories.

Dayna vowed that Clint would not allow her to decorate the tree because she had no order to her design. "I couldn't even put a candle in the window," she said.

Clint argued that was not true, although he agreed she was messy.

Their story reminded me of how Henry and I threw icicles on our real tree and half landed on the floor.
