Nutcrackers


You have heard the old saying: It all started with one...... Well, in my case it all started with my wife giving me one Nutcracker for Christmas. Since then, my collection has started expanding. I just acquired 2 more a couple of days ago. I am increasing my number by 2 to 4 a year. Some day, I hope to acquire some nutcrackers from the Black Forest in Germany. Right now, I am content with the offerings in the local shops.



































































































Christmas Toy Run


Every year the Cappuccino Cruisers car club has a car show and toy run at Les Schwab tires to benefit the Folsom food bank. Due to the great weather, this year was a resounding success.

















This is the mechanical singing Santa at the display.




















Santa and Mrs. Claus arrived in their 57 Chevy!











































The old grey mare, she IS what she used to be.















Yes, that is Santa's real beard.











This is the pile of toys that were collected.
