Claus and Affect

Breakfast with Santa is my favorite event to work all year...and today was the day!
Montage holds the event each year exclusively for its associates and their children--
There are pictures with Santa, crafts, cookie decorating, magic shows, and, of course BACON!
It was my FIFTH time being Mrs. Santa Claus...and I love every second of it!

Tis the season...

You see, Julie Hibbard, you really have a wonderful life...

A little pick me up...

With Brian Mathews, on our religion class "Wedding Day" in 1981

...and 30 years later at our high school reunion, October 2011
We haven't changed a bit!

Horse of nature

Spent a little time at Santa Anita today...

Above photos are of me and Sweet Juju--
a true testament to what love and affection can do...
And I swear, she knows me.

Spent the whole day with Sweet LuLu too...

This is our FABULOUS Golden Mary! She just keeps getting bigger and stronger and faster...
(We call her "Sweet Golden Mary")

If Santa Anita was ANY closer, I swear, I'd go there several times a week.
Maybe even every day! It's SO calming and so relaxing yet so exciting and thrilling to be there!
And those horse...well, I swear, they know me.
And they know how much I love them.

"There are three salvations from the miseries of life:
good food, great laughter...
and love."

Love is but the discovery of ourselves in another,
and the delight in the recognition.

~Alexander Smith
