It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas


Christmas in the RV The Blue Goose on Parade

We've been in Eufaula at the wildlife refuge close to six weeks now and the time has flown. We are enjoying our volunteer work here - we've done everything from empty blue bird boxes to seal linoleum floors to sort through and organize supply cabinets. It's nice to have the variety of inside and outside work and to know that we are freeing up the regular staff for additional tasks.

We've been back to Anniston to work on Tom's mother's house frequently. No pictures yet - keep forgetting to take them....The house is looking much better now. Pam has done a lot of work on decorating and color schemes and it is coming together.

Dad, Stephen and Katie visited us in Eufaula for Thanksgiving and we got together with Anne's family for the annual Mexican night/children's christmas celebration once again. This time there was a "secret Santa" in attendance to give us some ornaments to help decorate - thanks, whoever you are...

We put up a little tree (hanging on the wall so that the cats don't get to the decorations) and hung various other items to make our little place look like Christmas. And then there was the Eufaula Christmas parade last week. The Wildlife Refuge "blue goose" also made a special appearance.

It's even been cold enough for Christmas - lows in the 20's this far south are very unusual this time of year. But it all helps to get us in the mood for Santa!
