One of the friends we made when we worked at the Imperial Wildlife Refuge is a woodcarver. He takes tree and bush limbs and carves them into walking sticks. He personalizes them with small carvings to match things you love. Jim got a stick with a walleye chasing some little fishes. He also carved an eagle a bear and a plane on the stick. He adds little bits of shiny rocks in some of the little holes in the wood. My stick had a hummingbird carved into it and on the very bottom he carved a boot. He even adds a little cushion to the bottom and a wrap where your hand holds onto it.
We have received other gifts in the mail with Christmas cards and always are very grateful for those. I love Christmas cards because it is the only time of year I keep in touch with a lot of friends and family. Love the pictures, the emailed Christmas greetings and now the texts from friends wishing us a Merry Christmas. It makes life on the road a little more cheerful around the holidays when we still can feel connected to everyone. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
