Yesterday was busy.... LE/Fire luncheon, shopping at Petco for chews for
Maggie and a warm and snuggy bed for Bruiser, Brian's office to drop off Toys
For Tots, the post office for boxes to ship care packages to military folks, the
market for stuff, dropped off payment at the dentist, and one to Ace. Whew. Back
home to my chair and dinner was a rerun of the Chef's Salad from the Elk's lodge

On the way home I stopped at the Rogue River Bridge. The river looks like
chocolate milk.... and of course up over the banks.

HAROLD MAY BECOME MY NEW
FAVORITE!!!!
 Harold's kindergarten class was on a field trip to their local police station where they saw pictures tacked to a bulletin board of the 10 most wanted criminals. One of the youngsters pointed to a picture and asked if it really was the photo of a wanted person. 'Yes,' said the policeman. 'The detectives want very badly to capture him. Harold asked,"Why didn't you keep him when you took his picture ? " |

December 6th
St. Nicholas Day is today. Yes, there
really was a christian Saint Nicholas. He lived in the country of Greece, just a
couple hundred years after the birth of Christ. This day is in honor of Saint
Nicholas and his life.
Saint Nicholas became a priest, and later, a Bishop
of the early Catholic Church. True to the christian concept of giving up
belongings and following Christ, St. Nicholas gave up all of his belongings. He
was well known for giving to needy people, especially children. There are may
stories and tales of him helping out children in need.
The practice of hanging up stockings originated
with Saint Nicholas. As the ancient legend goes, Saint Nicholas was known to
throw small bags of gold coins into the open windows of poor homes. After one
bag of gold fell into the stocking of a child, news got around. Children soon
began hanging their stocking by their chimneys "in hopes that St. Nicholas soon
would be there".
It wasn't until the 1800's that the spirit of St.
Nicholas' life evolved into the creation of Santa Claus. And, this happened in
America. Santa Claus emerged (or evolved) from the stories and legends of St.
Nicholas. Santa Claus was kind and generous to children. Unlike "St. Nick",
Santa Claus is largely a non-religious character.
