After the main meal is consumed and desserts are a mere memory, family gatherings take a funny turn. The kids drag out the junk from an old toy box upstairs and let ‘er rip. Beside the usual toys, there are old Halloween masks and ancient wigs in the treasure trove.

The picture above is of one of the twenty-five guests who gathered for Easter this year pretending to be a feeding horse.

later, various ones try on the old wigs which prompt more good belly laughs. Sometimes they drag out a two-foot battery-operated Alf who talks. Remember Alf? His appearance sometimes prompts tears from the younger ones so this year he had to stay in the toy box.

At any rate, those objects create fun memories for a lifetime.
