The Camels Left A Mess In The Room

Well not really. The camels didn't leave a mess after Melchior, Gaspar and Balthazar left some gifts for Natalia and me. They did however take one of Natalia's picture she left for them.

This holiday season we got many board games to experience and enjoy. I am into the board gaming scene lately and amazed at the many great games and themes out there. Finding games to play with Natalia has been a pleasant challenge. I can recommend a few good ones. Pictured is My First Carcassonne for younger children and slowly Natalia is getting the strategy and enjoying it.

Already with a slow start to my reading this year but we are just starting. I find myself re reading again some of the H.P. Lovecraft stories. Still trying to decide my next read. It is always a little hard to decide what story and world I will give my time to.

Natalia back to her school and she was looking forward to it. They sang her happy birthday and had a little celebration there as well. Quiet days at work and at home but that usually doesn't last.

This past Saturday was my last day serving and in uniform. felt a little sad and I do not like good byes so I just left Saturday with no word. I can not do another deployment with the custody and the way the state of California has been treating me. Plus I will say lately it seems to me that the I won't be really doing the job but simply wasting time and fulfilling nonsense requirements. So with that I close this chapter in my life and and exciting one and will miss it and miss any opportunities. I leave it to others to do the job. I ow move on to yet another chapter in my life and curious what it will bring as I have been through so much and experienced so much thus far in this world.
