Seasons Greetings!

This time of year (Christmas) always seems to sneak up on me faster than I anticipate. It is only about 5 weeks until Christmas, and I have not done many things yet to get ready. I better get busy. 

We took a quick trip to Jackson hole, Wyoming, just to get away. It was nice, not having been there for many years, other than just to pass through. We found the cabins we stayed in during our first trip there in the late 80's, but those were now housing for the hospital there now. We stayed for the weekend, and drove through the southern end of the Grand Tetons National Park. I could live there, if it were not for the tourists coming through Jackson Hole. The prices ($44 for a steak dinner) were out of touch with common folks. The local joke is that because of the "Jackson Hole markup", even things at the dollar store cost $3.69! Funny!

So I finished the scarecrows for a club class after our October meeting. They were relief, and I think it was a fairly good class. Lots of attendance. So I decided to make some more elaborate ones. The first 2 for the class were simple relief, then I made another relief with more details. The last one I did was in the round. Those were kind of fun, and I enjoyed them. 









Anyway, thanks for listening! If I don't see you before the holidays, I hope you have lots of good times with family and friends, sharing fun, food and fellowship. Remember the reason for the season, and God bless all of you!
