Christmas Week in Ashland, Oregon





Snow, snow and more snow! Just like Indiana. The snow is supposed to stay on the mountain tops not at our level. And Portland, Oregon, where Dan & Sheila reside, have had 18 inches & Dan had to jack up his car to remove snow, install chains and with a manual winch, was able to get their car out of the driveway today, Tuesday, before Christmas! Portland has nearly shut down with the most snow in their recorded history! And more snow today & tomorrow! It is doubtful if they will make it to Ashland for Christmas.

Our Christmas Tree is just right. Selected in our mountains by Adam, we are very pleased! We thoroughly enjoy our tree. . .with it's spinning ornaments scattering droplets of light around the room. Nights are especially nice with tree lights on and fire and Christmas music, what could be nicer on a cold winter night? We still have the child in us and perhaps it's the Christ Child within enjoying His birthday celebration!
We hope you all enjoy the same Christmas wonder!
