I finished the book I decided to read for Christmas over a week ago. It was a short fast read that I really enjoyed. It made you appreciate the special people and animals that come into our lives. It shows that everyone no matter what their ability have a place in this crazy world.

Product Description
In this heartwarming novel, author Greg Kincaid tells the tender story of how one very special dog changed the lives of his adoptive family—and an entire town—forever.“Todd, they always want you to adopt a dog. That’s what they do. Besides, we don’t need another animal around here, and most definitely not a dog.”When Todd McCray, a developmentally challenged young man still living on his parents’ Kansas farm, hears that a local animal shelter is seeking temporary homes for its dogs during the days leading to Christmas, he knows exactly what he wants for the holidays. His father objects, but Todd’s persistence quickly wins out. Soon the McCrays are the short-term foster family for a lovable pooch the young man names Christmas.But what about all the other dogs who will be forced to spend the Yuletide season in cages? In the days that follow, Todd uses his special gifts of persuasion to encourage his hometown to participate in the “Adopt a Dog for Christmas Program.” What follows from his small act of kindness will teach his family, and his community, about peace on earth and good will toward men—and animals.
The best part of all. . . .We saw somewhere around 50 elk at Boxley. They were on two bottom fields and also on the other side of the road in some brush. I have never seen this many before.
If you click on this picture and enlarge it, you should be able to see the large rack on the big bull.
And of course a self portrait. My arm needs to be longer.
I came across this photo that Scott took on one of his Bigfoot expeditions. This is a homemade sign in Oklahoma. Tomorrow we are planning on going to Johnson County to look for Bigfoot. Scott says he is going to use me as bait so if you don't hear from me in the next few days, please come looking for me. I MUST HAVE LOST MY MIND!

Cassie's home is full of beautiful windows. I don't think I used the lighting as well as I could have. I'm still learning so I guess that is part of it. Hope you all have a great Christmas and enjoy the Christmas cards you made out of the photos.
When we were going through stuff at my grandparent's house a couple of years ago, I found this and decided to bring it home. My grandma Ruby was always doing stuff with her hands and this reminds me of all the special things she taught me to do or tried really hard to teach us. (I never learned to knit but she tried hard to teach us.)
I bought this Santa at War Eagle many years ago. I don't know is you can tell by the photo but it is a Okra. The top is the hat and then there are eyes and a really long beard.
This Angel my Grandma Martin made. When Ben Franklin's (a very long time ago) went out of business I bought her alot of ribbons and lace. That year she made everyone angels. If you look at most of my family's Christmas Trees I bet you will find one of these.
The final project! This year we decided not to put out all of our Christmas decorations. This is the first year since I have lived here that we didn't put out the village. Last year we went all out. Breanna and I even put lights outside. This year will be simple. Only a tree full of crazy things I like.
