Hula Hoop plus Bicycle plus Santa

Okay, so yesterday I was driving with Jim to dinner and we are stopped at a stop light. There is a man crossing the street wearing a Santa hat, he didn't look particularly deranged or abnormal, he was just whereing a Santa Hat and seemed to be enjoying himself. This was going on three cars ahead of me. To the right of me was a man (perhaps homeless) riding his bicycle. Now what is funny here is that he had a hula hoop over him and a sack of goodies (I persume) on the back of the bike. It was a very festive green and silver hula hoop. I took a second glance to make sure that is what I saw. Then I imagined as the Santa Hat got closer to the Hula Hoop's side of the street that they would collide and it would end up with Santa riding a bicycle while hula hooping delivering toys to everyone, like in a Dr. Suess story. It did not happen, but I wanted it too!

It's getting closer...

I love technology...today. I didn't have to enter one mall or store for a gift. Beautiful.

I'm not crafty

So on Friday up in Packwood, my mom organized a "wreath making" activity. I've never made a wreath. We gathered lots of branches of about six different species of trees including berries. We then had to snip branches and then bundle them together. My mom seemed to forget that all five of us had never made wreaths before, so she left us unsupervised making bundles for the wreaths. We didn't do so well so she came back, then we made her start all our wreaths and we were able to continue on our own. But let's face it folks, I'm not that crafty. However, Tayler is!
