These notes are from the first week in December. Sam said,
"I remember as a child, growing up, I was going to the local church. During the war (WWII) we had somebody smash watermelons in the foyer of the church. It was a German church in Longmont, Colorado."
I've always known Sam was of German stock - how could one not, with a last name like Achziger? :-) What I didn't until this story, was that his parents were actually born and raised in Russia!!
Happy Holidays everyone! Sam sends his love and best wishes to you all. And hey - some folk who read this don't know who Sam is - maybe we could do a little something about that, and generate something nice for Sam too? If you could post a comment explaining "who Sam is to you"...? Too much like homework? Oh well. It was a thought. :-)
His room is full a gazillion cards (all from women, he noted, and he said "that door can't stand anymore cards on it" to which I replied, "you're too damn popular." He grinned.) He also has plants galore, candy out the wazoo, stuffed animals, xmas lights and a neon palm tree (gift from Jennifer, an aide). Not to mention all the presents!
