Christmas is Almost Here

Well, it's almost Christmas and we're already at Holly's parents' place hanging out, watching movies and having a generally good time. John Wayne's "The Green Berets" is on TV and I'm catching up on blog posts that are long overdue. We've been a bit behind since we had so much fun during my parents' visit relaxing and enjoying their company.

We actually got a lot done while they were here. We moved a light fixture in the kitchen (that was installed about a foot out of place and in the way of tall heads) and installed a couple of ceiling fans in the bedrooms, too! Dad sure is handy to have around. We planted a bunch of evergreen ivy, too. Hope it takes off, because it sure is pretty on Mom and Dad's house up in PA. Dad, here's a pic of the finished product. You did a great job of the ceiling patch! It took 3 heavy coats of paint to get it all covered, but it looks great!


One of the simple pleasures of living in OKC is the crosses on the tallest buildings downtown. I took this photo while driving, without a flash and from about a mile or two from downtown (on the highway), so it's not perfect, but you can still see the crosses. Pretty neat, huh?


Here's a funny photo. Blockbuster puts out computers with a screen displayed for customers to use to get a free trial of their online services. The computers are locked down -- there's no navigation bar, you can't right-click, there's no start menu and many of the keys are disabled in a noble attempt to keep the computers on their own web page. Micah, sneaky guy that he is, figures out a way to navigate to Netflix's "Free Trial" page in about 4 seconds. and I just had to get a photo. =)
