  • For Christmas I got a new SD card for my camera, which is fabulous!  However, when I switched cards to use the new one, I forgot to download the photos from the old card, and thus we are now out of chronological order, LOL!  Last weekend we had the Rustad Christmas in Arkansas!  Here we are!

    * * * * *

    Cribbage…a Rustad tradition.  Now being passed on to the next generation!
