Red Moon Rising......and some very kind words whilst visiting Santa with JoJo


Last Saturday night we were treated to a Red Moon Rising...
and wow, what a treat it was to see...
I thought I would grab my camera and shoot away...
and these are the results...
pretty cool eh!!!!!



Almost looks like a face here......



















This morning we took JoJo in to do her Christmas shopping...
she saw Santa there and wanted to go up to him and have a 'chat'...
she was quite excited by all this...

After waiting in line...there were small children there and she was very patient...
the lady took her photo and while we were looking at which one to choose she turned around and said to me.....'you are doing a wonderful job'.....
this completely threw me and brought tears to my eyes...

It made me really stop and think and realize......
it really is the simple things that can just bring joy........JoJo seeing Santa,
and those few words by the lady who was encouraging children to smile for their photo with Santa...
I will remember this for a long time...probably every time we see Santa...
and brings to mind...Stop and smell the roses!!!!
