Scobey, as small as it is, has it's own radio station. During the holiday season you can hear all kinds of Christmas greetings from the local businesses, including Scobey Dental! Many have Christ-centered messages--which is most refreshing. And they play all kinds of holiday music. In fact, they're playing a Christmas "Music and the Spoken Word with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir" as I write.
Santa has been making his appearances--Ivy's caught him a few times--he makes her nervous, but doesn't hesitate to tell him she'd like a fairy for Christmas. Don't know where that came from, but she's insistent.
Yesterday, it snowed several inches, and JereLee Gunderson, our neighbor a few doors down, called to say it was a good day for making soup and would we like to come to dinner? She and her husband Milt, who still writes for the Daniels County Leader, our weekly newspaper, though he's retired, moved into town a few years ago, after having lived out in the country for years and years. We had a lovely dinner with the Gundersons--they treated us royally with a beautiful Christmas table with lit candles, delicious soup and bread, tasty Christmas goodies for desert, and pleasant company. With grandparents and family so far away, this was a special treat for us all and felt very much like an over the river and through the woods trip to Grandmother's house, though all it took was a short walk in the snow!
holly we really really miss you guys. so sad we didn't see you before you left. i am glad you are settling into your new home. looks barren and cold, but like our new home, you learn to find the beauty!!
