Christmas Special

We watched the Christmas Special on PBS, Christmas In Yellowstone, Wednesday night.  What a beautiful show.  If it repeats I highly recommend it.  While we were watching the show Lucy our kitty got pretty engrossed in the animals.

We have tried to teach her not to sit so close to the TV, it is bad for your eyes, she didn’t listen.

Christmas is very special to us.  I believe it is a time for many things, forgiveness being one.  Forgive everyone everything, I know that is a hard thing for many people to do, but imagine if we all could just do that one thing, wouldn’t your life be better, it is much easier to love and be loved, then it is to hate or be angry.  Try to forgive someone this Christmas. 

Merry Christmas

Christmas Lights

Nothing I like better then looking at looking at Christmas lights.  People told us about the Mormon Temple on Main Street in Mesa.  I just figured a few lights, but no 7 million lights, WOW.

After the Mormon Temple we stopped at a church in Mesa, they had a few lights, but nothing like the Temple.

Did I tell you I love Christmas lights.

We put up a tree in the motorhome and decorated the outside this year.

Fiesta Of Lights Parade Phoenix

Dec 4 2011

Last night we got our winter coats, hat and mittens out to drive 40 miles in the rain to see a Christmas parade.  In MN it would have been snow, so guess we are thankful it wasn’t 20 below zero.

It’s not all sunshine and sunsets down here in the desert.  Not sure what the total rain fall was but sure it was over an inch.  This was not one of those nice light warm rains, I know I saw some flurries mixed in with the rain.

Up until the last few days we have had perfect weather in the 70s low 80s and lots of sunshine.

We had a nice thanksgiving with friends here in the park, with a turkey and all the trimmings.

Floats were made from cars to semis with many tractors.

We may have been popsicles when we got home, but it sure was fun.  Love a parade.
