FIRST CONGRATULATIONS to Jordan Smith of Harlan, Kentucky, yes the same Harlan I’m from, Jordan won the top prize in The Voice last night on NBC. \u00a0If you want a Christmas blessing of epic proportions go to you tube and play his rendition of the wonderful song, \u00a0Mary Did You Know<\/span><\/strong>. \u00a0I’m betting you will listen to all his other songs and you will be in awe. \u00a0Most important is this kid shared his faith through out the entire process, he wowed the judges when he sang Great Is Thy Faithfulness<\/strong><\/span>! \u00a0Please do yourself an incredible favor and check him out on You Tube. Trust me your going to be hearing a lot more about him in years to come.<\/p>\n

I love this inflatable Christmas Van in my daughter Catherine and her husband Clint’s yard. \u00a0They were big Jerry Garcia fans, and this Christmas wish is right up Jerry’s alley! \u00a0Fuji 35mm f 2 at F 9. Super clean, sharp, and great pure color.<\/p>\n
