Butterflies & Camping
-
I recently went to Tally for a Dentist appt and I saw this butterfly in
front of Mom's house so I snapped a few shots and her neighbor thought I
was real...

December is Here
It's hard to believe we are already in December. I am really on top of it this year. I have 95% of my Christmas shopping done already and many gifts are on the way to my family.
I was in Target yesterday (Saturday) and purchased gifts, animal treats, etc. I checked out and went to the car. As I was loading the car I noticed several items were in the cart under the child seat and they were not it bags. I looked at my receipt and realized I must not have seen the items and did not put them on the counter and the check out girl did not notice them either. Wow, I got about $20 worth of stuff free. Whoopee!
I got in the car to leave and then I thought for a moment. Along time ago I made a commitment to myself that I would try to be the best person I could be. One of those commitments was to be truthful and honest. I thought for another moment and decided to take the items back in the store and pay for them. The check out girl was very surprised that I came back in to pay for them. She said most people would not have done that and she was very happy that I did. She said that it "made her day". It made my day too and I felt very good about doing the right thing. I'm not a perfect person but every little bit counts.
I went to a Coast Guard Christmas party Saturday evening and had a great time. If anyone knows about the party from last year, I got stuck with a goofy nutcracker. It has been going back and forth every year and I was able to get rid of it this year. It was very funny how I disguised the box and everyone had a great laugh.
Today one of my Coast Guard friends called me and they woke up to their house on fire. There was a fireplace chimney fire and major damage. I went over to video tape it so he could have a record for the insurance company. A lot of personal items such as photo albums, video tapes and family heirlooms were destroyed. It was very sad.

Everyone enjoy the fun of shopping for and receiving gifts this Christmas.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
