On my way up to Big Bear Lake I stopped at Mill Creek to rest. Rushing water always calms my nerves, colorful rocks ignite my passion and the ice cold water relieves my headaches. Such a wonderful place to replenish.
At one point I stopped and hiked off the road through forests of pine trees and snow covered mountains. I happened to arrive in-between snow storms and experienced clear blue skies with some snow on the ground.
I went up to Big Bear Lake to spend time with my dear friends the
Melvins. Fortunately Jeff and Laura like the same things I do and we spent the afternoon poking through antique shops, drinking coffee in town and eating ice cream.
Signs of Christmas are everywhere from the twinkling white lights on the trees to gaily wrapped packages in the old antique wagon.
Rustic art; simple, real, honest and alive.
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” Steve Jobs
“When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.” Alexander Graham Bell
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
Icicle lights intermingling with real
icicles; strange yet beautiful.

"Life is good," said the duck and then waddled off content and happy to be a duck.
