LEAVENWORTH CHRISTMAS!

A Scenic View from the Bus Ride

Welcome to Leavenworth!
A Few Thousand of my Best Friends!
Father Christmas, European Style!
I'm in Bavaria, right??
I was blessed to have the opportunity to accompany two busloads of tourists to Leavenworth for the Christmas Town Lighting ceremony on December 9th & 16th! What a dream gig!

The streets were full of tourists and their kids & dogs, booths selling roasted chestnuts (interesting flavor...) and bratwursts and pretzels, people sledding and watching bands and singers perform...it was enchanting as the snow fell all around us!

I will add more pictures very soon!

Monday Night Football Freeze!

It never got above 30 degrees today, so all of the snow that fell last night and had turned to ice just stayed that way! The roads were an ice rink and several people had to abandon their cars all around the area because they just couldn't get home, especially after the Hawks game! Oh, the humanity!!!

This is the view from our front window of the unbelievable snow storm that slammed the Puget Sound on Monday night, during the Seahawk's game against the Packers on Monday Night Football! Brrrrrrr! Thank the good Lord, we had Hasselbeck AND Alexander back and, AND Jerramy Stevens actually caught a pass for a touchdown!! WooHoo!!

My Home's in Montana...I Wear a Bandana...

This is the log house that we stayed in at the Double Arrow Resort just north of Missoula MT. It was absolutely wonderful! It even snowed overnight one of the nights we were there!
And this is a view from our front yard...how spectacular is that? I could have sat there and looked at that view all day, but it sure was chilly out!!

VINTAGE CAR SHOW

Here are some pictures of a vintage car show that we were able to attend while we were recently on vacation in Solvang CA! As you can imagine, there were hoards of people looking at all of the restored vehicles and the funny thing is, some of those cars didn't look so OLD to us! HA!

Anyway, John had loads of fun poking his head into cars to check out their interiors! There was not a speck of dust to be found!! Of course, his favorite find was a 1965 Mustang...ah, what he wouldn't give to have his "grabber blue" '65 back again!!

I posted the picture of the purple one just because it was so stunning! I hope you enjoy a trip down memory lane!
