Mike P stole my joke! :-) ...but I did have frost in the freezer today!

Tucson is a little different than the Midwest, where I grew up. The stores are busy, the christmas lights are up on most of the houses, and our house is decorated from end to end.... as usual.

It's the daylight hours that spoil the mood. Even after all of these years, the warm sunny days hold off some of that holiday feeling. We have had ice cream trucks cruising the neighborhood every day.... Lance Armstrong was just here, doing some training... and the official colors for christmas decorations are mint green and pink....because they are all sun-bleached!

But when the sun goes down...the lights come on....and the air gets cool, it brings back those old feelings. {:-)
