And the Compound Makes 15 !

The Compound was at full strength today and at a record-high - 15 people. Sam completed the picture last night when he rolled in from Fort Riley. Besides lots of Christmas shopping, wrapping, etc. during the day, we started the evening with a "sleigh" ride behind two horses from the Flying Horse Ranch: Clyde and Clint (they're Percherons). Then dinner at the Club followed by a gingerbread house-building for some of the kids. At the bottom of the page is a thank-you gift Papa got from the San Luis Obispo Railroad Museum.





We all fit perfectly!










Two tables of 8.




Papa got this thank you gift from the folks at the San Luis
Obispo Railroad Museum today! It's a New York
Central (Railroad) Services oil can. The New York Central
eventually merged with my favorite railroad since childhood,
the "Pennsy", forming the Penn Central.
The spout is about 2' long.
