Merry Christmas 2012!

Nancy and me checking out the Christmas lights at nearby Johnson City

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. "
 -Luke

 Merry Christmas from the Texas Hill Country!



Postscript: This was my last Christmas with Nancy, my Chocolate Lab. She passed on in January 2013. At 13 years of age, she was suffering from ill respiratory health and arthritis. I loved all my three Labradors, but from a pup, Nancy always held a special place in my heart.
