| My felt Christmas tree hanging. Easy storage! It even has lights. |
After Thanksgiving we stayed at Tamarisk LTVA which is near Holtville, CA and the Mexican border. We saw a lot of Border Patrol activity. Then on to KOFA Ko-op SKP Park in Yuma where I spent some fun time with the Crafter group making a felt Christmas tree for the rig. Some of the ladies were so impressed that they wanted a pattern. Pattern? I wasn't really using one, so I made one up. I sure enjoyed being able to use a large table there to work on it. Jerry especially enjoyed the hot tub.

I didn't have any Christmas earrings, so I made some from the leftovers of the tree project.

Then we were off to Ogilby Road to meet up with the Boondocker group for Christmas. We had a good sized group, a fun White Elephant gift exchange and a great potluck. I was very touched by several of the ladies coming and consulting with me to make sure they were making something I could eat! I found that with having my class on "Intro to Ferments" and telling my story of how I got into this and why, there has been much more acceptance of my different way of eating. So nice to have the support! I know that eating the way I do makes such a difference in how I feel, but it's a bit of a shock to others who have never considered eating any way other than what they always have. It's interesting to observe that those around me are influenced to eat better and more mindfully even though I'm not trying to push this on anyone. I just do my thing and share with those ready to hear about better choices. People have to be ready for that kind of change. I know I sure didn't get here over night!
