No power is no Christmas fun. Thankfully they got ours on yesterday afternoon. There are still folks without power. That was one heck of a storm. :candle2: :candle1:

I found a birds nest that was blown down in the storm. It had a piece of silver tinsel weaved in it. Birds love Christmas too. :feedbird:

I'm glad ours was restored quickly, but the peace and quiet was nice for awhile. Of course the candles reminded me that Christmas is never far away. :scene:

Greetings my Christmas friends! I am writing from Page Arizona today. We have been on a vacation through the South Western USA. We started on Friday night in Las Vegas. We were there through Tuesday and saw the Hoover Dam. Then on Tuesday we headed to Zion National Park in Utah. We stayed over night and went on to Bryce Canyon in Utah and stayed overnight yesterday there. Today we drove to Arizona to see Antelope Canyon and stay on Lake Powell. Tomorrow we head to the Grand Canyon! What a trip so far! More to come soon.
Love and Joy Come to You!

Thinking of you Christmas friends but will not post until healthy.


As a nurse I am sure you are aware of several diabetic "sick diets" online. Most include taking in apple juice and jello. I am recovering from a cold/flu. I missed work on Wednesday which is not like me. Yesterday two bosses tried to send me home saying I looked sick (I am as white as wonder bread, or says an equally pale ex boyfriend, and look like a zombie normally without makeup). One said to me "if you look like that tomorrow, don't come in". Well, it is student evaluation time so that is not an option, but I am wearing a bit of makeup today. ;-) I also have a stye in my eye which does not help my "sick" appearance much. Next time I will say I am giving up makeup for Lent. I think I am becoming one of those crotchety church ladies I remember from my childhood.

On a positive note, Perky has an interview today for a school admin job and a second interview Tuesday for an hourly IT job. He said he would hate to choose. Praying the God of Christmas will reveal his plan and Perky will have clear direction.

Hope Noelle and all my Christmas friends get well, and stay well! :angelpray:

Kiwi glad to hear you love northern Arizona. It is gorgeous and very cool compared to the desert where I live. You sound Christmas cheerful. Keep enjoying your vacation. :blinky1:

Prayers for your recovery and Perkys' new job interviews. I am a palace too and can relate to the comments. Hopefully your cheerful Christmas face returns soon.
