Merry Christmas
I’m not sure when you’re leaving for the holidays, so here’s my wish for you today.
Make it the best Christmas ever, don’t forget about your pets, and make a donation to your favourite charity.
If you forget about the commercial aspect of the season, the intention of this time of year is pretty amazing. And even if it is just for a few hours, we all put our differences behind us, open up our hearts to peace, remember the past, look forward to the future; and one day maybe the spirit of Christmas will remain with all of us all year round.
Merry Christmas!!!
BTW: A big thing for me, today I am attempting to make cookies for Christmas. I say attempting because I have never had any luck baking anything, but I have to give it a shot. I was always a bit envious of those folks who would show up at all the dinners and holiday events arms full of baking and goodies.
I got a few good easy recipes from some friends and I know this time it’s gonna work. yummmm!
(Photos next week.)

Very Sad
A head-on highway collision between two vehicles on a highway east of Winnipeg has killed a man, RCMP said.
Const. Miles Hiebert said a small car and pickup truck collided on Highway 15 near Provincial Road 207 at about 5 p.m. CT Wednesday.
The driver of the car, an adult male, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
The driver and passenger in the truck, both adults, were taken to hospital with undetermined injuries, Hiebert said.
The name of the dead man is not being released.
The highway was reopened at about 9 p.m.
A simple twist of fate
I saw a horrendous head-on collision on my highway on the way home tonight.
I didn’t witness the moment of impact, but I saw it happening in the darkness in the distance ahead of me.

One of the most beautiful and unexpected kinds of photographs can be produced using digital infrared photography techniques.
Infrared photography has been around for a long, long time but using film, it was expensive, very difficult to do and the results were extremely unpredictable, and frequently disappointing.
