Sending letters to Santa.

Every year where I work we put out papers for children to 

Write letters to Santa.

 

 Then once they write a letter they put it in our big letters to Santa mailbox.

I take all the letters each week from the mailbox 

And send them to Santa.

Sometimes we will read the letters that are not in envelopes.

The little kids send such nice notes.

It helps me feel the Christmas spirit.

Getting ready to write Christmas cards.

I have been having fun using Canva to create 

Fun design for my Instagram account and this blog.

This week is Christmas card writing week.

 

Last year I bought the clearance Christmas cards after Christmas was over. They are so pretty.

So there will be no family photos this year.

This is a project I made for my Instagram account.

This is a suggestion for a Christmas card by Shutterfly.

I actually think 🤔 it’s kind of cute. 

My mom did not like it.

When writing Christmas cards I think of all my friends in different states. I think of all the Christmas times that I spent with friends and family. Each year my list gets smaller as my older friends pass away.  It’s a time that brings me joy and sadness.

Mindfulness biking, what I learned today.

 Today after doing my weight training, and regular bike ride, I did a mindfulness ride.  It was on finding ways to sleep better. I am thankful that I don’t struggle with sleep issues. During the ride what stuck out to me was this phrase “ perfection is not possible, but change is.” You should have a goal of changing for the better. But not for becoming perfect. 

I am starting to think about my 2026 new year goals and word.  I’m thinking of doing the word “Flow”.  What challenges will this new year bring to me?

Are you planning for the new year?

Dashing to the Finish.

 

The final fitness challenge for 2025 is dashing to the finish.

I hope to at least do 900 exercise classes before the end of December. I will be continuing to do weight lifting, and riding my exercise bike.  My goal is to not gain weight during the Christmas season. 

Do you have an exercise goal for December?

The shopping fashion that I’m too old to do.

Would you shop in your pink striped silk pajamas?

Would you wear your fur coat over it?

Would you bring your kids while shopping in your pajamas?

I would not feel comfortable shopping in my pajamas.

But people do it.

What do you think 🤔?

Taken with my little camera, November birding in Utah.

I’m learning how to make photo pages with a photo editor app. What do you think. It’s like computerized scrapbooking.

American coots have really weird and big feet.

This bald eagle was looking for an early dinner.

Should it try for gulls, coots or grebes?

Little birds are hard to photograph they don’t stay still for long.

This pie billed grebe is enjoying an afternoon snack.

Hope you enjoyed the photos.

Our Halloween costume’s 2025

Photo editing backgrounds in.

I was counselor Kimberly from Star Trek.

Boldly visiting new planets.

Dyna was a pumpkin patch cat.

My son was Freeze 🥶 boy.

The inside had food in it.

My daughter was a scarecrow.

 I don’t know how the year went so fast! But it did.

Now I am trying to be prepared for the holidays.
