Best picture ever here on the left that was sent to me with the caption, "When the wife pressured me to hang up the Christmas lights this was the best I could do." Just cracked me up probably because this was the first year I ever hung Christmas lights on a house before. I was going to go with mainly blue and white but thought I would leave that for the inside and just a multi-colored look on the outside. I know a lot of folks' families are spread out so I hope there are many out there who get to share the end of this year with some family members. I spent many a Christmas either on the road or alone so making more of a concentrated effort to stay in touch with family as best as I can.

Snow!
Oh man are we getting (finally) the white stuff and not a moment too soon. Maybe a little late (would have been nice over Thanksgiving) but glad there will be a white Christmas at least. With it has come lots of wind too. Over the weekend 145 mph over the mountain tops! Already used the snowblower late last night and forgot how cold it can be. No complaints though this area really needs to have the skiers and snowboarders (and in my case inner tubing) up here because after they play on the mountain they'll want to eat and who knows maybe take in a show ya know? By the way I still think it's hilarious when people hang Christmas (or holiday if you're not into Christmas) lights up that try to look like icicles. Give it time now with the snow you'll get real icicles. It's been a little tough out there too this holiday season because money is tight. Charities are hurting for more supplies and donations. I encourage people that if they have no one joining them over the Christmas holiday to invite a local or someone who is hurting for dinner or even a gift so that person can feel valued before they reach their last string of hope. Just a thought. Forget any New Year's Resolutions this time either I think I have decided to just let the year play out without any high expectations of what to expect in the new year. Maybe try to be a little less cynical and try to listen a little more frequently. Yeah, that sounds good. I'll let you know how it all works out.
