Cyndy thought it would be fun for us gals to be in costume as we volunteered for the Valhalla Holiday Faire.  Oh my gosh, she was so right.

Bob's "Of Wood & Whimsy" did a brisk business all day.  It was fun to stand back and listen to all the positive feedback he received.

There was something for everyone from baked goods to toffee and everything in between.

School children sang, filling the Grand Hall with the most beautiful sounds.  It was magical.

I ran into so many people I knew and even got to sit on Santa's lap.  What a day!

What better ending, for our incredible day, than a 'bear hunt' at Taylor Creek?

So we never saw a bear, but this duck 'ice skating' was a pretty rewarding sight.  The creek was mostly frozen and quite dramatic.

Today was one of those days, full of simple pleasures.  The kind of day whose memories make you smile.  Silly and fun.  I would say- a perfect day!
