Getting My Christmas On!

Getting My Christmas On!

All is white! All is bright! The snow began falling yesterday afternoon and is now napping until Wednesday. Bing would be pleased.

After a jazzy brass concert on the 16th of December, something happened that drained the jolly right out of me. With tubs of Christmas all over my living room, I had not one iota of desire to transform our house...until last night: Christmas Eve.

The walls reverberated with holiday swing. We split beef and venison steaks, sipped French press coffee, and had a fireplace crackling on my iPhone. Barry rarely decorates, but he unpacked ornaments and even wrapped gifts. We scaled everything down due to an upcoming road trip, but Christmas magically appeared before midnight.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

YakTrax Walk

Slipping on ice is not my idea of recreation. While living in Idaho City, I used shoe-chains or ice traction devices. I never fell. When I moved to Idaho's Treasure Valley, most people were not wearing them, so neither did I. Silly me. I have fallen several times, often on icy playgrounds, and usually on a knee and hip. With too many of my friends having replacement surgeries, I wised up. 

This brand, YakTrax Walk, is far better than my previous shoe-chains. They are also easier to attach. Thankfully, I am back to staying on my feet. 

Standing and stable,
