Merry Christmas

I just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! I have to work both days but we will get to have a small quick Christmas with some relatives.

My goodwill find

I have been looking for a new skirt for awhile. I could never find what I like or what I liked wasn't in my size. One day I decided to go to goodwill with my son to look for him a coat for winter. He finally found something he liked for around $6.00. We walked around just to look real quick ( I had to be at work soon). I wanted to see if they had couches in so I could price them. On our way to that section of the store I found a pretty skirt that caught my attention. Not expecting it to be in my size I went ahead and looked at it and it was in my size. I was so excited and it cost $5.00. Here is a picture of the skirt.

The skirt fit me perfect and it is so comfortable.

Happy Belated Birthday Mom

Happy Belated 58th Birthday Mom. I avoided writing this post yesterday on your actual birthday because it was to difficult for me to do. I'm dealing slowly with your death and hopefully I will find the final closure I need. I have accepted that you are gone but that doesn't make it any easier. You died way too soon and way to young. Somehow I know your still with me in spirit, I swear sometimes I feel you and dad giving me hugs. I just wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday and say I miss you so very much.

Here are a couple of photo's of my mom some you may have seen, hopefully a couple you haven't.

Christmas in the Park

Every year our city sponsors Christmas in the Park. This is where different organizations like schools, boy and girl scouts, and other groups enter a contest decorating the shelters for Christmas. Every year I take the kids to see the lights and we decide what one we like the best. I took a few pictures but most didn't come out right :( (I think I need a new camera). The park department will set up a little house for kids to see Santa (Faith's favorite part) and this year they added carriage rides around the park and train rides. Here are a couple of pictures I got.
A Charlie Brown Christmas (This was one of our Favorites)

This is one that plays to music. Sorry it's so blurry but my other pics looked worse.

Faith visiting the Park Santa. My pic was blurry so I paid for a copy from them.

Foggy Morning

A couple of weeks ago I got up early to keep the car and it was so foggy. I took these pictures on my way back home. I had to stop at a gas Station to get a couple of shots. I know the fog could have been worse but this is the worst I had seen here for a long time and some of this had settled before I got the pictures taken.
