It was nice waking to the snow.. Got lots done today.. but not all I was supposed to.   The most fun thing I did was to finish fixing this weird old Christmas scene projector for our friends Tammy and Gary.    Every family has their share of crazy Christmas traditions.. and this is one of theirs.   It’s a device that projects a Christmas scene on the side of a house.. There’s  a stationary part of the scene , then a part that moves. Unfortunately the low voltage transformer that ran the lamp had burned out. Yesterday i found just the thing to replace it at Home depot.. it was a transformer for low voltage garden lighting.. complete with photocell magic turn on and timer. I wired the new transformer in and took it back over to give it a try. Tammy’s kids helped me install it outside in a bale of hay 

While I was there Gary’s sisters came over. One of them brought a beautiful sketch that one of her friends had made of Tammy and Gary”s son Elijah who died this past Summer…  It was a great likeness… They brought down a picture of Elijah’s grandfather to show t the resemblance..

It was good being over there..   There was a steady stream of folks coming and going while I was there…   There’s a lot of love around that family…  I know that everyone is keeping them in their hearts for the holidays..

nite all, nite sam
