These photos were taken last year, and Mom is in the hospital this year, so we will be going there for Christmas Day........
Mom, has a hard time with her hearing these days, and she has to stop and listen real close to what you say. Looks like she's trying to think of something witty to say to whatever she's hearing.
Henry just listens and lets her talk, but most of the time, he's telling about his past experiences in the military. Heck, what else does he have to do, these are his memories.
