Getting framed

I'm a Disneyland junkie. First visit was in the mid-fifties - the year after the park opened. And, except for the three years I lived in Denver, I've been back at least every other year since I was 10! I managed to give my daughter this affliction and she is masterfully passing it on to her children. My son seemed to have an immunity because while he likes D-Land, he doesn't LOVE it like Jenni and I do. Nor does my husband. I mean, come on, it's the happiest place on Earth!

My favorite part is Main Street. It's a rule of mine that each time I visit Disneyland, my first entrance must be via Main Street. Not the monorail. Main Street. One time Ed suggested we enter through Tomorrowland. Once and only once did he suggest that.

Since Vika and Eamon came into our lives in 2005, Jenni has given me the same gift each Mother's Day. A photo calendar of the kids. I treasure these and keep them all. This year for the month of June there were four photos of the Jenni, Jeff and the kids at Disneyland (or maybe it was Disney World - not sure). One of the photos was Main Street. I loved that month! Almost hated to change it on July 1st. So, being the friend that my daughter is, she gave me a 5x7 of that photo for my birthday. And today I found a mat frame for it which are perfect. (Please ignore the rug in the background).

There, now. Doesn't that just put a smile on your face!
