Kris's Visit
My stepsister's son, Kris, was home on leave on Veteran's Day 2007. My mother gave him his Grandpa Bob's Bavarian hat, and he posed for a couple mug shots. There had been a Veteran's Day assembly at Erin's school, and she was impressed to meet a serviceman. We just happened to be making gingerbread cookies.
