The kiddos are really sweet and always get or make something for each other and for us each Christmas and on birthdays. R1 started doing that all on his own when he was just a little guy and then the others followed. This year they got a Gizmo plushie for me since I had seen one and thought he was cute. It joins the herd of plushies and figurines in my study that I keep around for use as drawing models. It reminds me of Aurthor C. Clark’s study that was stuffed to the gills with flotsam that he used as inspiration for his stories.
