Merry Christmas to all

D is playing hostess to a group of friends for Christmas. Her little house is all bedecked, inside...

...and out.

We hope it doesn’t rain a lot because the house is across a wash.

Dry washes in the desert seem so harmless, most of the time just a dry looking ditch. However, when it rains that benign dry wash can become a raging current. Arizona has a “Stupid Drivers Law” that states drivers can be charged for rescue if they cross a flooded road. It only takes two feet of water to move a car and if you’re rescued off the roof, you can bet you’ll be on the nightly news.

May you get everything you’ve blogged, I mean, asked for and more this Christmas. But most of all, may you find truth and happiness in yourself, loved ones and all people of the world.

Gotta’ go make up Santa’s plate of goodies, and try not to eat them all.
