Santa made the rounds giving out candy canes to all the children in the city. It was a great event, and everybody participated.
It can really melt your heart when you see the joy some of these children have. They get so excited to see Santa Clause, and get some candy. A few little ones came running and gave me a hug, I told them to leave Santa some milk and cookies on Christmas Eve.
Conversation with my 4 year old daugter:
Me: I drove Santa Clause around on the Fire Truck today!
A: Did you ride up in the front Dad?
Me: Yes I did. I even turned on the lights & sirens too!
A: Was that fun?
Me: Yes!
A: Good, Dad.
Right now we're all getting over major flu symptoms. Slowly getting better. Hopefully we'll all be doing much better by Christmas. It's times like these you value your health, ( and health insuarance too if you had it.)
It seems as though I broke a couple of my own rules!
But in the blogosphere some of these rules just get broken when life happens.
I could blame it all on a number of things: no internet access, slow dial-up when I do have access, or just plain old laziness!
In any event I will try to blog some. Since we've been back, our lives have been somewhat boring.
Today I changed the strings on my guitar.
I quit my job at the Glass factory and got a new job! After working for 2 weeks, I got laid off. Hopefully I'll get recalled soon. "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
What else is new. I joined the local Fire Department as a volunteer firefighter, and am now going through training. It's exciting stuff. Saturday we will drive around the city on the fire engines and pass out candy canes to all the children.
