It's Winter-Time...

December always sneaks up on me before

I'm really ready for it...and it happened again!

But, I pulled out all my winter stuff...(I'm

partial to snowmen!)

On the entry table at the front door entrance.

The framed snowmen is a card that Lori painted.


I did a "new" effect on this picture just for fun...

On the dining room table...

Very festive and fun!

"Let it Snow" seems like an oxymoron here in Lake

Havasu...as you know, it never snows here, but just

the thought of it sounds cozy! :-)

Another little tea-light holder.

Received this card the other day from Karen.

It's just sooo cute...guess cuz it's a snowman!

I love the little pom pom on his hat!

Our Neighbors New Fiberglass Pool

Pools are very common in Lake Havasu, however, like ours

its NOT fiberglass and is "poured/built on sight", but

our neighbors got a new pool "installed" on Friday and

it comes in one piece. I've seen them IN the ground

but never being put in, thought it was interesting, so

took pictures of them unloading it from the truck

then the crane lifting it off and over to the huge hole

that was dug last week. They seemed to dig enough dirt

out of the ground to build a whole basement UNDER the

house, (good thing theres an empty lot next door)

but it was just enough to add

this pool and a hot tub!

Of course, just because it's IN the ground, there's still LOTS

of work to be done before it actually becomes useable as a

pool and hot tub.

Crane lifting it off the semi.


Swinging it around to get to the back yard. It was a
super windy day. Thought that might cause some issues,
just made it cold is all.



Look out, comin' through...







Its getting closer...

Down it comes...

It's fitting just fine into the big hole...

It's in...

Then the Hot Tub came...it was much easier and

quicker since it's much smaller...

Oh, the things that excite us "country bumpkins"...

Our Annual Christmas Parade of Lights

The Dixie Belle Led the Parade

This one's my favorite...they have it every year.

Theres many more boats but I'm only posting a

handfull!

The Lighthouse Club

Snoopy and the gang...

Classic car and trailer....

Zane...this one's for you...

Malia and I went down to the channel to watch

the annual boat parade of lights this year. We

go every year, but it was extremely cold...we

even dressed warm, with gloves, hats, boots, etc.

but we left with numb toes and fingers.

Since I Ranted in my ealier blog, this

is a blog to RAVE about the beautiful job

all these people did on their boats.

My camera really doesn't take very good

MOVING night photos but I did

get what I could, and the Starbucks

in hand helped to keep the chills at bay!

This was also at the Parade of Lights,

however, it was on LAND and not on

the water!
