			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I prepare to take a rest from my normal day-to-day, I can&#8217;t help but anticipate the next few days. Tomorrow I&#8217;ll be stopping at my brother&#8217;s house in <a title="Odon IN Wiki" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odon,_Indiana">Odon</a> for a visit with his family before heading to my parent&#8217;s place further south near <a title="Loogootee, IN Wiki" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loogootee,_Indiana">Loogootee</a>. Plans include doing nothing and enjoying it immensely.</p>
<p>When I tire of that, I&#8217;ll pick up a book, a magazine, converse with my mom and dad, watch TV, browse the internet, maybe answer some email. After that, I&#8217;ll take a walk with my mom, troubleshoot the household computer ills, drink some afternoon coffee and maybe go to town for some supplies. By far what I&#8217;m looking forward to the most is sharing stories behind the photo project my mom and I have embarked upon. We&#8217;re up to over 1,400 photos scanned from the family photo albums. Many memories and indeed many emotions have resulted from the resurfacing of these pictures. In that vein, here is a Christmas memory that is strong in my mind tonight.</p>
