So I Was Just Thinking

I have two cameras. One I can't find, and it doesn't zoom anymore. (That feature broke a year ago this month.) The other camera I lost the USB cable to a LOOOOONNNNG time ago. Now, I can't find the battery charger. Today, I ordered both the cable and charger from Amazon.com. In the meantime, I am trying to eek out one picture a day out of the deadish battery so I can keep up with my December photography. This morning it was 18F degrees, and I just couldn't get warm. Something warm seemed in order. Oatmeal in my favorite new bowl with my favorite silverware and my currently favorite new place mat. Stay warm my friends. Stay warm. NOTE: Just my luck. I have been without that charger for weeks and have looked in every bag and box I could think of. Today, after I have ordered a new charger, I look in the same bag AGAIN and lo and behold, there it was. My camera battery is charging as we speak. As for the USB cable. It has been gone for years. We shall count it lost.

Prettige Feestdagen! We received a great Sinterklaas gift today. I am glad when we woke up this morning we found this instead of finding that Zwart Piet had carried us off. Now to work on being good for next year. If last year's winter is any indication, I am sure I will be tired of this white stuff after a while, but coming from Texas where this would have delayed school for two hours, it is quite a novelty. At least it gave me something to post for December Daily today. So to answer iHanna's question on my calendar journal post: Yes, there will be snow in December! Haha.

I live in a very strange place as many of you know. I drive through field artillery ranges that have free range cattle roaming through it. There have been more than a few times when I have had to stop to let a cow wander across the road. I was fortunate enough to have my camera and the time to stop to snap a picture. Today was Caitlin's band concert. Five junior high bands, some better than others, played their way through some traditional and not so traditional Christmas tunes the oddest being what the band director described as a Puerto Rican tune entitled "Winter Fiesta." What would my Puerto Rican counterparts know about winter other than it begins December 21st? When my grandfather came to visit me in Alaska in 1973, he had never seen or felt snow before. I know that the information superhighway has made such knowledge available to anyone with computer access, but really! How could they write a song about a Winter Fiesta? But I digress, as I am prone to do. The next...
