Merry Christmas Eve......

 

 

 Our Location:

Merry Christmas Eve to one and all. And of course Merry Christmas to one and all as well. Riley and I hope this post finds you all warm, healthy and happy, where you want to be, with whom it is you wish to be with and enjoying the love of family and good friends. 


Borrego Springs, California - Christmas 2018

Appropriately named Christmas Circle.

I didn't take any photos today so I thought I'd share some from past Christmas posts. I didn't delve too deeply, locations include here on Ogilby Road, Borrego Springs, California, Tonopah, Arizona and Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada. 


Saddle Mountain, Tonopah, Arizona - Christmas 2017

Saddle Mountain, Tonopah, Arizona, Christmas 2017


I spoke with my dad last night, my uncle Don and his lovely wife Joan, as well as my sister this morning. They all voiced the same news, snow, snow, snow and wind, wind, wind, and did they mention snow? Did they mention wind? Heavy wet snow, very hard to move without big equipment. The total as of this morning sounded like 16 - 20 inches/40.6 - 50 centimeters of snow.  That's a lot of snow. Glad I'm not there and having to move it. Normally I would sarcastically offer my sympathies for their situation but today I truly am sorry this is happening at this time of the year, the holiday season when so many people need to travel to see their loved ones. Dangerous times to be doing such a thing. We hope everyone remains safe, warm and well fed. 


Near here, Ogibly Road, Winterhaven, California - Christmas 2019

Same as above. My friend Jerry took me on a jeep ride a few days before Christmas to the Colorado River.

Today I didn't do much, chatted with Deb & Tom, and Riley. Later with Doug. I even helped Doug put this Mr. Buddy heater back together. It was a two person chore to be sure. However it's back together and it works. I'm finished. Walked a bit today and other than that Riley and I didn't do much of anything.

  6. Thanks for throwing in some pictures from the north country, love seeing those. We did not know we were so close when we crossed into the U.P. of Michigan from Ontario a few years ago.
