It seems that winter is here! It blew in with a fierce, cold wind. I am gald. I like the seasons as they come, and it is hard to get in the Christmas spirit when it is warm outside.
This last weekend Dave, Mason, and I visited historic Columbia, CA. What fun! For me, the best part was being in Nelson's Candy Store watching them make giant candy canes, and seeing Mason's eyes light up as they took form. Dave enjoyed the stagecoach ride and the hold-up by the bandit with the gun! That was certainly not Mason's favorite part of the day. For Mason, it was time with his dad. Dave and Mason played for a good long time in the rocks. These are very large rock formations that we can all climb on and through. Dave followed Mason, and then Mason followed Dave. They ended up on top of the tallest rocks in the park. I hope Mason is not so young that he doesn't remember this. It was one of those days that we are glad we took the time to just play.
I have said it again, and again, it is not "things" our children want, they want to spend time with us. And isn't it true for all of us, young and old? We cherish the time we have with each other so much more than any "thing" we could ever own. Give the gift of you this Christmas. Have lunch with your girlfriends, and tea with your mom. Make the time, afterall, it is all any of us really have.
