This Egret is drinking in the sun.
Birds really are not afraid of anyone.
A totally black cat circled my legs all the way to my apartment.
I went to visit my neighbor...
I told her how that cat circled my legs.
Her Grandson in the back room hollered out from the back bedroom.
"You are a witch!"
Of course I answered...
"Yes I am...
Cerified at Hogwarts.
Be good or I will turn you into a...
Cedar Tree."
Who knew Elder Wood could strum and sing.
Surprises around every corner.
Speaking of surprises...
Boxes and more boxes..
Did I say we have a lot of boxes?

A note that came with Stan's vehicle reports...
Sister Homer's art work on the envelope her baptism record was in.

Brother and Sister Herzog
They took all the Senior Couples to dinner Saturday night.
He has done this for the last decade or so...
He is such a missionary he does the temple tours plus so much much more.
They feel that since we are here without our children at Christmas they should treat us.
He has always done this.
But this year there were so many people at the Grand Floridian he couldn't get reservations.
So we went to the Contemporary Resort and ate at the Wave.
It is a completely fresh organic place to eat...
Organic only means all the refined food they feed you starts organic.
It was a delightful night.
Disney at night is an awesome place.
Even Stan was blown away by it all.
The next pictures are of our evening.
The Grand Floridian is an amazing Hotel...
it is only $400 a night.
(Sorry about blurry pictures, where is Tawny when we need her?)
Disney World is magic...Roses grow there.
Sister Swain taking it all in.
Me and Stan
Read what goes into this Gingerbread house...where they sell gingerbread cookies.
The next pictures are at the Contemporary Resort.

Elder Rydalch Doxey and Hyer.
Elder Rydalch is taking Elder Doxey's place as Assistant.
Elder Doxey is now a District Leader and trainer in Ocoee.
This was his choice....
He wanted to be a trainer one more time before he goes home in January...
and it is where he started his mission almost two years ago...
Ocoee.
They came to dinner tonight, Sunday.
What a treat to have them here this evening...
The end of a beautiful day.
As we go about each day we can see Christmas and all the hub-bub going on...
The commercial side.
We are so involved in the work of the Lord we don't have time to get involved in the chaos of Christmas.
It was even hard to find time to locate a tree and put it up.
Yet we have never felt His closeness and Spirit more then we do now.
He is real
His whole life was so we could have joy and happiness...
Through Him.
What a wonderful time of the year...
To find the Savior and Celebrate His birth...
And His Life.
