Old Faithful Inn, Yellowstone National Park, August 25, 2010.

On this day, many, many years ago (legend tells) all the guests and staff were snowed in during a rare summer blizzard, and they apparently all got festive and began a tradition of celebrating Christmas.

We were in Yellowstone on August 25th, and the entire place had been taken over by Christmas! Santa arrived, there were Christmas carols, trees, decorations and the kids got to make Christmas ornaments!

Last year, we were all Swine Flu crazy! I made up these cute little Chinese food boxes full of  ‘Flu Fighters’ and gave them to co-workers, friends and family.

Ingredients, as listed on the tag (with a clip art image of a pig Smile)

  • Blistex
  • Chicken Cup-a-Soup
  • Cough drops
  • Tylenol
  • Emergen-C powder and those drink pouches for water bottles with either Gatorade powder or some other flavor with electrolytes
  • Anti-bacterial hand cleaner in a travel size
  • Tissues with a nice little fabric cover I made
  • and of course, MEDICINAL chocolate *(Hershey Kisses)

Hoping everyone has a HEALTHY Christmas season this year!!!

On our way home from our trip out west, we drove by signs for Santa Claus, Indiana. How could we resist taking a small detour? There was an old fashioned  kiddie theme park, Holiday World (closed, or I would have insisted on going in!) and a strip mall with a Santa Museum (closed)  and these statue Santa’s hanging all around the mall.

Gift with a bow HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TIMMY!!!! Birthday cake
