Snowman picture location

We were walking around a town called Desdemona a couple of days before Christmas and we came across this snowman where you can get your photo taken.  It was so cute. 

There were no folks walking around~~maybe it was too close to dinner time.

The temp was about 75.  I LOVE warm temps for Christmas.

Snowman Family~~downtown Abilene

There's a small park on one of the corners in downtown Abilene.  This snowman family decorates the park with greetings of happy smiles.  

This is a well-traveled area of the town, so more people can see the happy family.  Last year this display was in another park a few blocks away, but probably wasn't seen by as many people.  

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL.

Snow

Today we had snow in west Texas.  It was in the forecast, but that's always iffy.

I woke up this morning to rain and then snow.

I usually only post one photo a day, but I couldn't help myself today.  I took the top photo of the snow and then about an hour later I looked out at the parking lot and saw this snowman in the yard across the way.  Sadly I didn't see who made it.  

It's just cute.

Today is Thursday and by Saturday it's going to be back into the mid 50s.  I can deal with that.

Dining Hall Decorations

There's a dining hall in the Children's Home.  Usually the food is taken to the children in their living areas, but they go to the dining hall for one meal a day.  The area was still being decorated as we had our "early" tour, but it was already so inviting. 

This scene was on one of the fireplace mantles, 

By the time we were done seeing and hearing about the home and the effect it had/has on the children who spend years there, I was almost in tears.  

Thank God for those people and the hearts they have for those kids.
