Oh Christmas Tree!!

As you can see, my internet is working well today. So, I figured I would show you all some of the daily things around here. To start, there is our cyote. He is rather shy, but monday, I got him to come within four feet of me. He is in our area almost every morning. I think by the end of the deployment, he will not have a problem with us.



This is a picture of my Christmas Tree. I got this on monday in one of my packages. I love having the tree. It looks really cool when the room is dark. Everyone likes to see it. I like it because Barb sent all gold, red and silver decorations, which is what I like on my Trees. It helps me get through the holidays when I have a small piece of home here.

Finally, I have my Nutcrackers. Now, some of you don't know, but each year since 1997, I have gotten at least one nutcracker for Christmas. This year, Barb bought five, small, plain wood ones. Then, she let the kids each paint one, and she painted one herself. She sent me the painted nutcrackers, the last un-painted one, some paints and some brushes. Today, on my day off, I painted my nutcracker. This is him below. The five nutcrackers are placed on my new shelving unit next to my tree.

That is about all for now. Oh, in the picture above, I am sure you noticed that the background was a movie. I recently received my computer bag from my friend who was holding on to it for me. The show playing on the computer is "The Big Bang Theory" An AWSOME show. I reccomend that you all watch it when you can. In my opinion, it is right up there with M*A*S*H!
