As we neared the North Dakota state capitol last night, I was disappointed to note that the windows were not lit up like a Christmas tree, as is customary this time of year. However, upon blinking, I realized there was a different kind of message in those 19 stories of window:
We couldn’t reach our destination for Christmas; the snow held us back. But we’re here now. I’m grateful for second chances.
Merry Second-chance Christmas to all, and yes, Happy New Year 2010, too!
Wow, I have never realized that your home state’s capitol building was very Art-Deco rather than D.C. inspired!
My favorite ones are: Nebraska’s and Washington’s
keep shining and saludos!
How fun, a new look at ND and welcoming a New Year! Blessings, writer-mama-pal, and may many stories and successes be yours in 2010!
I love ND, it’s so charming besides WA!
You too Mary Aal,let’s cherish up the new year as well
Love the pictures, Roxane. I’m glad you had arrived safely. I miss you – need to visit when you have a chance.
Love ya,
Marie
