Handmade Christmas Card

When I scanned the pictures they came out on the blog reverse. But I think you get the idea. I received this handmade card from a friend.

Merry Christmas.

Casino Postcards

I got this postcard holder (slot machine) as an early Christmas present. It has clips to hold photos, but I thought what better use would be to display postcards. And it would have to be Gambling Postcards.

Winter Wonderland

The view has changed from the last blog. We are at home.

Our Christmas Present Travel Trailer

The inside is comfortable.
Slide out makes it roomy for two!

Fun FinderX 189 FBS Trailer

The pictures are small, but wanted to be able to load it quickly. Thats because I am looking outside the window a lot tonight.

There is now 4 inches of snow on and around the trailer.

Winter Scene Lake Arrowhead Village California

This older postcard of Lake Arrowhead Village in Southern California makes me think of December and Christmas.

Christmas Decorating

I HAVE FOUR ARTIFICIAL WREATHS AROUND THE HOUSE, SHARING THREE OF THEM HERE. They are decorated with handmade ornaments and commercial ones. The last picture has artificial boughs of pine with decorations and one of my favorite Christmas postcards. Next to it you will see an artificial tea lite (battery operated) Now Casper can prowl around and not set the place on fire.

Happy December

Where I live it is above the Fog and Below the snow. Or so the Newspaper has for a slogan. And today I was glad to live above the fog. While visibility was 1/4 of a mile even in the late morning down below me, I enjoyed the sunshine. Once in awhile the fog will creep up and we do get snow once in awhile. Now it is time to get my Christmas boxes out of storage. I know the first thing I must find is my advent calendar. We already put up outside lights. We went with rope lights, as I always hated putting up those messy string of lights. And for the windows we put up lighted decorations which lie close to the glass. I will have lots of wreaths up but no tree. The cat would knock it over. Speaking of the cat he crawled out of his harness and is hiding under the deck. I must go get him before the coyotes or road kill gets him.
