At the MISD Board Meeting tonight they voted on a $13M bond initiative to build a new Tarver-Rendon Elementary at Scandia and Retta Mansfield Road to open in 2013.

I just want to say a BIG thank you for showing your support for our military. Many of you don't know that he has been deployed for 15 months to Afghanistan. He has participated in Operation Freedom which is designed to mentor the Afghan Army so that they can be self sustaining. Our prayers for his safe return will be realized when he steps foot in our home.

Despite the cool weather I took a walk this evening to look at some of the Beautiful Christmas Lights on Display. I wanted to share with you some of what I saw but the camera cannot really capture what the human eye can see -- not without a tripod anyway. I think my favorite is down on Plum Creek because of the reflection in the pond. Enjoy.
I was driving to work this morning and spotted this scene. The sun was rising and shining through the mist floating up from the fountain on a neighbor's pond. I snapped a quick picture with my phone but it did not do it justice. The temperature was about 40 degrees this morning.
Looks like DSL is out for the entire neighboorhood. AT&T tells me there is not an outtage on their end and needs to schedule an appointment to come inside my house. Meanwhile, the Gudals, Johnsons, and Borgs are also out. Must be a coincidence I guess.
