…until you get outside and have to drive on a sheet of ice. Hopefully it will warm up soon and we can enjoy looking at all that snow in the mountains.

Health Clinic – Repost
With the cost of health care today, our community is very fortunate to have doctors and nurses who volunteer their time to staff this free health clinic. Although it is only open for a short period of time, it plays a very important role in providing medical assistance for those who can not afford to pay. The building is furnished rent free by a local church and several other churches provide monitary assistance for electricity, supplies, etc.
Quinceanera Bouquet
Last Saturday I was invited to attend a “Quinceanera” for a local young lady. This is a coming of age ceremony for 15 year old Hispanic girls. The ceremony itself is filled with traditions and is often part of a religious service. The bouquet is among the gifts given. The link I included above is connected to a commercial enterprise, but the information given is very accurate to those celebrations I have been privileged to attend. I would invite you to check out this information.
Night Light
Between Cays and Towne Road on Old Highway 101, is a relatively new Church. I drive this road often, and just happen to catch the moon in the right place.
December Theme Day
Well, what can I say! Today is Theme Day and this is your chance to click on a link below, travel the world, and see how 53 Daily Photo Community members interpreted this month’s theme, A Photograph from the Waist Down. Enjoy!
P.s. I know…mine is more from the knees down…but I have a good excuse! it’s called snow, ice and procrastinating.

Too Much Rain
While not the best photo I’ve ever took, this one amused me. I was in the yard last week and had to laugh when I saw the mushrooms coming up inbetween the bricks. I thought about shooting a picture from ground level and then remembered I would have to get back up off my knees. They were covered in white stuff last Sunday…it will be interesting to see if they survive.
Cleaning Out the Gutter
With all the rain we have had of late, the cedars “flagging”…otherwise known as dropping their needles…it should have come as no surpise to me that my gutters would become clogged. Isrrael, who takes care of my yard, has been out of town. I climbed up on the ladder, quickly determined I was too old for that sort of nonsense, and called one of the grandsons. He came and rescued me from overflowing gutters. Good thing…they are now full of snow…and it is starting to melt.
