The morning of Christmas, 2015, our family came to the table and this is what was in store for them. In the 50’s this was the extent of our Christmas gifts. Each person had something on their breakfast plate! I decided to throw in a flashlight which would have been splurging in the yesteryear! Mounds was always my favorite candy bar.  The Bounty bar available in Bangladesh is very similar. It was also different, celebrating Christmas in Fort Myers Beach in Florida!  The personal napkin “rings” were a contribution of my 92-yr-old Mother!

A nice coincidence for someone who loves photography!  I also have 4 friends who have birthdays on this day, as well as Pres Bill Clinton and Orville Wright! Pres Bill Clinton is 1 year older than I am, and the Orville Wright passed away in January the year I was born! Interesting since, I have around 440 hours with my private pilot’s license! Not sure what Pres Bill Clinton and I have in common besides our birth dates!

My darling wife, Alice took me to Jitter’s Coffee Shop in Millersburg, Ohio. I had a great 20’s Reuben sandwich! Delicious!

Ingredients: Rye Bread, Corned Beef, Sauerkraut, Mayonnaise, and Swiss Cheese!
