Holiday Nostalgia 

After postings yesterday about Valentine's Day, I inexplicably missed home and being surrounded by loved ones.  Perhaps it's attributable to the fact writing about Valentine's Day evoked such vivid memories and coming down the stairs barefoot to eat my regular breakfast of oatmeal and an english muffin as the cold temperatures seeped through hidden cracks between the window panes and under the door only to find, instead, a beautiful intricately handcrafted box of chocolates.  Whatever the cause it only seems appropriate to capture that feeling of wholesomeness and warm happiness by posting pictures from my Christmas vacation in Ohio.  Also...HAPPY 22nd BIRTHDAY MATT!!!
