This morning as I sit looking out at the desert garden and seeing nothing but sand and cactus and an occasional palm tree, I vision each of our loved ones as they sit in their warm homes and look out at the white snow. I feel very blessed that we were able to escape the severe cold of Sask once more but also know that it is our real home and it is what makes us all strong. Spring will arrive here in the desert about March with a burst of flowers which only last a few days before the extreme heat takes over. But at home, spring peaks out a few times before it too bursts forth with a green indescribable. And it lasts 4 or 5 months..... So as you look at the pristine white, remember what comes in a few months....
Today we will sit out on the deck and enjoy the sun, maybe watch a movie and then have steak for supper. Or we may go into town to a buffet place that is serving Christmas dinner.....we are not sure what we will do. Many of the people in the park are getting together in small and large groups and with friends from other parks. We have been invited to some but are just staying put today but maybe go walking for a bit this afternoon.
I do not think we will be back another winter so we want to soak in the Christmas rays to store in our memories for the winters ahead.
We also will do a bit more preparation for the arrival of Shannon, Rachel and Celine day after tomorrow. They will not arrive until 9:30 at night but will be here for the week. It will be fun to have family here as we did last winter to break some of the tediousness of old folks lol
If you are reading this, you must be having a boring Christmas like us, but I wish you a Merry Christmas any way.
Sometimes boring is good!
