The Saluda River, as it flows through Jones Gap State Park.

Here's what it looked like at my house at 6:00 AM this morning. It was very peaceful. Then there was cooking, and picking up Moms, and eating, and opening presents, and visiting, and cleaning up, and taking Moms home. Wow... And now a soft snow is falling and it is peaceful once more. Merry Christmas everyone.

Yes, it's a downspout. But I also see a light saber. Hmmm...

From the Greenville Christmas parade last Saturday. It was cold out (for here), so we ducked into a restaurant before Santa made his appearance.
