Jacki and Tim came down for the week. Then Tony showed up early Christmas Eve. He is looking to move to MO, so I am just enjoying him home for the time being.<br />
We did get some small projects done, and just spent some quality family time. Jacki and I all of her grading caught up, and recorded. <br />

Combination lab – a light box with 4 switches and a tester button. The whole family got involved. However I did not get a pic of the final project.<br />

While I got some sewing done Jacki helped me sort STRINGS. I had 3 buckets of strings. I needed neutral, red and purple strings so Jacki decide to sort the lot.</div>
<div align="left">
I love the result, but now I have 5 piles of strings and a box for “everything else”. I think Jamestown Landing is next!</div>
