Amid our Christmas shopping – almost done – we ran into WalMart, not my favourite place, to get a couple of things and this young lady was on the kettle. She is the epitome of enthusiasm when it comes to volunteers and Christmas.

I asked if I might take her picture and she readily agreed and asked me to post it to social media with the location! So I did and encouraged people to come donate. And I donated.

Speaking of merry and bright, we dropped into one of favourite places to visit, and the flowers and decorations were brilliantly displayed. What a great aroma too!

My good friend Les sent me this lovely picture. He and Tiffany drove out to Mom’s new place and brought her to a special dinner at the National Club where the retired international leaders were meeting for an update on the territory and Christmas greetings from the TC.

I was thrilled to see this lovely picture and to see Mom out at such an event. Les and Tiffany have been wonderful to our Mom and we are grateful.
