Today's postcard:
The caption on the back:
FRONTIER CITY, U.S.A.

ON U.S. HIGHWAY 66 & 77
Gateway to the fabulous Frontier City, U.S.A. of national interest. Frontier City is a composite of all the old time frontier towns rolled into one! Bank robberies, gun fights daily reinacted.

Christmas Stuff
Weather: Cold, but sunny and clear.
Music: Nothing at the moment.
Mood: Pretty good.
What I'm doing right now: Decluttering the house and taking down some of my Christmas stuff.
We almost had a white Christmas this year--there was a prediction of snow on Christmas Day but we didn't get any until the next day. This is what my yard looked like last Wednesday morning:
The snow stopped by early afternoon, and by 4:00 it had warmed up enough that almost all of it had melted and dried up.
Christmas week was a little busier than usual . . . I got to spend a lot of time visiting with friends, catching up on movies, and eating a lot more than I should have. It was a lot of fun, but I'm kind of glad it's all over now so I can spend a few days at home catching up on other stuff.
I spent Christmas afternoon at my brother Tom's house, enjoying a truly wonderful turkey dinner (did I mention that he and Charlotte are really good cooks?), visiting with the two of them and watching my niece Emelia enjoying her presents, which included a fairy dress, a new chair, and a really cool electric car (which she was a little wary of at first because of one the sound effects):
I've got some other ones, but it'll be a few days (probably longer) before I can get them resized and posted.
