Ashley finished the financial report for our ministry. I took it over to our Treasurer’s house.

Spent most of the day working on the Christmas party for the mission.

Went to the Dollar Tree to pick up goodies for the kids.

I lined up everything with the UPC facing her to speed up the process. Also stacked the similar items. It’s all about speed, baby. It was over 140 items.

Packed them up.

Then took them to the mission.

Ashley had done a great job decorating the room.




I told the Christmas story.

Then the kids got to pick out their gift.


They seem to really enjoy it. The older kids helped with crowd control.

Got some food for my fish while I’m in Texas.

Admin duties now. Need to finish packing for the trip to Texas tomorrow. I should be back on line Friday the 27th.

Here’s my meteorite from the Campo de Cielo field in Argentina at 20x.

From the one dollar bill.

At normal vision power.

I liked this dress.

And this coat of arms.

I saw this area of the parking lot filled with tiny white drips. I wonder what caused it?

I’ve been listening to a LOT of Sherlock Holmes lately and it made me want to deduce what had happened. Here’s the visual evidence.

It’s a puzzler. It’s paint, not poop. The drips are very uniform. There are no wires above the area. The closest thing that’s painted white is the tower, which is at least forty yards away and a hundred foot up.

Only in America.
