Itś just me clowning around in the First Federal Holiday parade. I was a chef for the gingerbread house. The costume was made by someone at work. It was fun passing out gingerbread cookies and dancing in the streets of Alpena.

When out on the lawn I heard such a clatter...I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter! Why Santa decided to do some checking up in the Floer household. I couldn't believe it!

Today at Brush Creek Mill we had a commemrorative tree lighting with bulbs of red, white and blue. The bulbs could be purchased for $5.00 each. White bulbs signify a lost loved one, red was for anyone serving in the military, and blue signifies someone you want to show appreciation for. During the ceremony, the names of each person honored was read out loud. So Betty Rathbun, Walt Rathbun, Bill Floer and Jean Floer all were honored today. The afternoon began with the Huron Shores Barbershop chorus giving a half hour Christmas concert. Then the names were read, then everyone sang Christmas carrols. After, there was free refreshments. The tree was lit outside after the names were read. It will stay lit all throughout the holiday. So Mom and Dad have a white bulb on the tree. Pretty cool, eh? It brought a tear tp my eye...especially when they pronounced their names correct. There were 90 people honored.

This was our winning float in the Alpena Holiday parade. We hade a perfect score! Everything on the float was moving. The suckers in the windows went up and down, the gingerbread boy and girl on the back moved from side to side, lights flashed, music blasted from the speakers above, we had live people inside and all around the float. I was a chef dancing up and down the street as I passed out fresh made gingerbread cookies. It was a lot of fun.

I've been thinking we needed to get a teardrop for our Element, but as I was reading a thread about someone building their own teardrop, I came across this picture.  I think we need one of these for our tandem!  It would have to be a double, of course.  Not sure of the design because  a double would take a lot of space on the road - maybe bunks?  What do you think Jim?

My friend, Therese took this picture two nights ago. She does photography on the side. I love this picture. I have to get some of the parade pictures that she took for First Federal. Say prayers for Jett. He had to have surgery today after his stitches got infected. On Monday he saw a dentist in Seattle after his bunk bed accident. The dentist thought he may have broken his jaw. He couldn't tell if he did or not, but even if he did, they wouldn't do anything for him. They would just make sure it heals. Candy said his mouth was puffed up like a racketball. He couldn't eat or drink anything today while Candy waited for the call to take him into surgery. Poor little guy.I took today off. Stress related. I won't go into details. We really should plan a get together with Aunt Beverly. I'd better get a card off tomorrow. The Dodson's and Turvey's are coming up for the White Tail Dinner tomorrow. Therese and Tim and their son are joinning us at our table, along with Bernice and Don. It's held at the Hillman Community Center. Later...Sue...by the way...I loved the village, Sally.

Fond Memories of a White Christmas

Today I set up a Christmas Village in my kitchen window to bring back
memories of a snowy walk through downtown Birmingham on Christmas Eve.
Hope you all enjoy your own preparations for the season, and some
nice walks through the crunchy snow to enjoy the neighborhood lights.
