Not the usual idea of "treats" but these casseroles will be a "Frozen Treat," Theme #113, for a former daycare family with a parent in the hospital and two young children at home. Mom can spend her limited at home time with the kids while supper heats in the oven.

After a day of cutting paper (an odd activity that little girls will do by the hour), the leftover bits and pieces were crumpled up and coated with a glue & water mixture that dries rock hard. The resulting balls were then dried, painted, glued together and decorated to become a snowman for our tree. "Rock, Paper, Scissors," Theme #263. Circa 1988.

"Silly," Theme #284. In the midst of picture taking I noticed an unscripted moment between my daughter and her boyfriend as they sat alone in front of a waterfall. With my camera's focus set to "Auto" at that moment, what I captured in focus was our seven year old grandson as he jumped in front of the camera and made a face. I guess that pretty much sums up what seven year old boys think of

One glimpse of the camera was all it took for this group of football Saturday revelers to bunch up for a picture. "Kids These Days," Theme #163. Purdue University's unofficially official (meaning the university won't sanction it and the students won't give it up) Breakfast Club tradition of dressing up and hitting the bars as they open on Saturday home game mornings.

I've put away the intricate and delicate ornaments in favor of the more simple, but totally handmade and memory filled, ornaments our daughters made as children. "Celestial Bodies," Theme #43, are represented by numerous star shaped ornaments, including this one at the top of the tree. I think our youngest daughter was 6 when she made it.

Over the Rhine is one of the toughest neighborhoods in the city. And one of the up and coming neighborhoods. Blocks of renovated warehousing surrounding the area are becoming high end condos and restaurants. Apparently it's trendy to live well on the edgy side of town. But for the people who live deep inside Over the Rhine, life can be hard. It's decaying buildings, corner drug deals, empty
