This is one of the prettiest buildings in town. Saint Anthony’s of Padua was established in the early days of Wickenburg, having started out as a wooden structure near the beginning of the 20th century. Finally, after the tough days following mine failures and the great depression, the congregation eventually constructed this beautiful brick sanctuary on Tegner Street in the Old Historic Downtown area.

For as long as we have been traveling back and forth between California and Arizona, today marked the first time we stopped to see these Native American petroglyphs along US 60 near Salome, AZ. According to a guide book we bought in a NPS visitor center, some of these could be as old a 1,700 years. Click on the image to enlarge.

I discovered another very interesting gadget in the Flash® component toolkit. It’s a countdown timer that is pretty easy to use. I made this little Christmas timer in about ten minutes, including publishing it to the web.
I’ve got all my Christmas shopping done (thanks to on-line shopping). How about you?

Every year since we have lived here, Santa Claus and his sleigh have visited our neighborhood. It’s a tradition sponsored by the Torrance Police Officers Association.
Santa rides atop a float with a police escort. There are sirens, music and flashing lights to announce Santa’s arrival. Santa visits most residential streets. Santa and his helpers hand out candy canes to the neighborhood children.
I took this video last night as Santa and his entouragé passed in front of the California house. Click on the “>” to play and hear the video.

I can’t believe I ate the whole thing . . .
Turkey breast with all the trimmings: mashed potatoes, turkey gravy, cranberry jelly, Verna’s killer dressing, candied yams, steamed broccoli and a buttermilk dinner roll. Thanksgiving dinner plus 3 NFL football games today equals thankfulness in our household.
We hope you enjoyed your day as much as we have. Click on the image to enlarge.
