Happy Birthday ....to me

Well yesterday was my birthday...am I getting old. It's a bit different usually is cold on my
birthday, not 60.

Our neighbors brought over a present for me... a nice wine bottle opener and wine  and  candy. Laugh, we needed the wine open as we didn't have one.

Also had a surprise, our son Ryan called from North Caroline, haven't heard from him in a long time.We had a good chat.

Susan hasn't given me my present yet.... she says it needs to be a warm and sunny day....? Not sure why, it has been cool last couple of days... today is overcast,expecting rain.

Well here are some new pictures










 The pictures below are a building that once was the home of the President of the Chile Supreme Court, now its individual  shops.



pretty cool.
One thing we have notices is that they spend a lot of money on Santa displays in the malls. See below

 That is Santa, inside a snow globe...sorry not very clear was taken with my Iphone.

Here is another Santa display in another mall:








Well afterwards, we went outside and visited small outdoor shops next to the mall

this is a Merry-go-round next to the mall.


caught the clown before he turned away...

Susan getting us fruit smoothies, as it was quite warm out
The below pictures are taken at Jumbo, a grocery store in side the mall. Jumbo always does something cool 










And then we have the Nativity , here is ours:

then this is the one as you come into our Condomino Elmo



 hard to see, but baby Jesus is not here in the manger....? Why.....because here in Chile, baby Jesus is placed in the manger on Christmas day.. and then you sing Happy Birthday to him....

Well guess time to post. Hope everyone is doing well, drop me a note.

¡Feliz Navidad
