Rose Of Christmas, December 25, 2013, California

Merry Christmas Everyone. I trust you had a joyful day with your family and friends. You might be wondering about the title of this posting. I was talking to my daughter Janice about it and she said have you gone outside and taken a picture of the roses yet because the gardener comes tomorrow and he will probably cut them back. So out I went  and the following two photographs are the result and the name of this posting. Beautiful roses blooming on Christmas day.

Following opening of the gifts we sat around and talked while final preparation of the meal was made. It was a grand feast. Turkey, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, orange cranberry sauce, green beans, Brussels sprouts, gravy, and of course dressing. We all waddle from the table. It was a glorious day and we all were thankful for the freedom we have in this country to gather and celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He is the reason for the season. I was especially thankful that God allowed me to come and spend Christmas with family here on the west coast. As Always remember that God loves you and so do I.

Unless some big event happens this will be my last post for 2013. The Lord willing the next post will be from Oklahoma and or Texas In early January 2014.

    Great Post Dad! Great Photos! I love my roses in December. I love going out and cutting a small bouquet of them and taking them to my office and enjoying their delicate fragrance, when I know everyone else I know is buried under snow!

    I must take a moment here and CONGRATULATE YOU!!!

    It was just over one year ago that you were given this challenge to create this blog to document your travels and you have really scaled not only the mountains that rise out of the plains of these United States, but you have also scaled the mountain tops of technology! Just think of how much you have learned! There was a time when you did not know what a blog was and here you are now....a professional blogger! Who knew?

    I Love You and I Am So Proud Of You!
    Janice

    Looks like you had a good day. We did too. Quiet and at home for once. We're off to another family gathering tonight. Lots of people waited for the weekend to come down. Heading over now. Love you dad!
