Dropped by Santa

We get a lot of snow so I went up to shovel the roof. When I got there, I saw footprints leading to the chimney, and a candy cane that was dropped by whomever made them. :-)

Eat Eggs

Eating eggs, like this omelet, helps a hangover. Eggs contain an amino acid called cysteine which helps counter the effects of acetaldehyde, a side effect of excessive alcohol consumption.

Drink the whole glass

A couple of Tylenol will help the headache, but drinking the entire, big glass of water may help more. Alcohol dehydrates you, causing headaches. Water helps a lot (drink a big glass before you go to bed if you remember)

Vietnam

My grandparents picked up this little remembrance of their trip to Vietnam in the mid-1950's. and passed it on down to me. It's a little village scene carved from their cork trees. The glass case is only 2 inches by 1.5 inches (5 cm by 3.8 cm) so you can imagine how tiny the items inside are.
