Surreptitious Christmas


Nothing educational for Christmas, Mia insisted. Only fun stuff.

Absolutely, I assured her.

A rock polisher, a collection of labeled rocks, a rock pick, and a book of trails in Oregon where you can find rocks, plus a guide on how to recognize them. Fun, for sure, and not a bit educational. Friday Field Days are going to be fun, especially the trails that you can only get to in summer with a canoe, and places that are best hunted by inner tube down rivers.

Anytime you can take a dog with you, it's not educational.

Rumis is a cool strategy game, but not a bit educational.

We set up a new fish tank with a water testing kit that tests PH, hardness, nitrates and nitrites. All fun.

Daddy got a math calendar from her, heh heh heh. He has a math problem that he has to do EVERY DAY, and he has to show her his work. Heh, heh, heh.

  1. Dear Ineka, John, and Mia,

    We had a GREAT time too. Thank you so very much for inviting us to share Christmas in your happy home. Everything was lovely! Especially being with you.

    I am so glad you enjoyed your gifts. We loved ours!

    You might think of many questions you would like to ask about the information in the daughter book, also the pictures. I will be happy to answer them no matter what they are.
    Love you, and love your crab sushi! Yummmmm!
