THE PARADE OF LIGHTS...

Well we all had fun last Friday and Saturday night. Friday night in our very great little town, there was a fun time at 'The Coyote Coffee Den'. White Mocha Peppermint coffee, Hay rides, Bon Fires, Hot Cider, Singing, Santa, and friends. Then Saturday night, in Canon City, CO, there was the 'Parade of Lights'. Here are some pictures I took during the parade. It was a nice 56 degrees during this parade. So warm for this time of year here. I was with my friends Melissa and her kids, and Tanya and her son. We saw people we knew and of course Santa!!!! It was fun. Then Sunday after church, it was 70 degrees, came home and took a nap, then went over to my awesome In-Laws house, picked them up, and we went to see a play "Best Christmas Pageant Ever" that had one of the little girls in my class in it. It was very cute. I knew 3 kids in the play. I took my In-Laws home afterwards, and Betty made waffles and eggs for dinner. It was such a fun weekend!!
I miss Bob a lot. I still have a love for him and don't want my marriage to end. I love Christmas time. I miss Bob. I haven't put up a tree or any decorations. I am just not in the spirit without Bob. I feel rejection, and that sucks. I do know that Christmas is not about me. It is our Lord Jesus Christ being born for us, for our sins. And that gets me through the glitter and the 800 commercials wanting you to buy everything. I told my family and friends, that this year I do not want ANYTHING, from them but hugs. I don't have extra money this year. I just want Bob back.
Monday we had a snow storm. Anyone who knows me , knows I hate driving in snow and ice. I miss Bob here. He would drive me to work, and pick me up after. I miss that. I drove slow to work all the way with my knuckles gripping the steering wheel tight. I drove 25-35 on a 50 mile an hour road covered in snow and ice. The snow is beautiful to look at, but I hate driving in it. I am alive tonight. I lived to tell about it. Ha ha. So enjoy the pictures and let me know what you think. Please keep praying for Bob and I.. Thanks.....Gail
ONE MORE THING..TODAY AT SCHOOL WE ONLY HAD 7 OUT OF 20 KIDS THERE DUE TO NO BUS SERVICE, AND SNOW AND ICE. WE WERE EATING LUNCH AND I ASKED ONE OF THE 4 YEAR OLD BOYS.."WHO IS THE PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW?" HE WASN'T SURE. I HINTED, "GEORGE????" THEN HE SAYS, "GEORGE LOPEZ." OH MY GOSH DID WE LAUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
