Ruby's new friends

It's the day after Thanksgiving and the animals have arrived for the live Nativity. Each year at the Memorial, there is a special lighting ceremony. Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving day, it includes a live Nativity with a donkey and two sheep, inn keeper, towns people, Mary and Joseph, Shepard's, angels, etc. and the three Wise Men. Everything went off perfectly and the lights even came on without throwing a breaker. On the second night I played the Inn Keeper. Ruby greeted and handed out pass-along-cards about the Memorial to the visitors. The first night we had 300 people and the second night about 175. The weather was cold but no wind or snow. I will post pictures of the many lights later. Our camera will not take night photos well.


Ruby is making new friend and enjoyed the two sheep. They were special guests for two days and a big hit with all the visitors.

Ruby was especially fond of Forest the donkey. I think she would have enjoyed many different pets. Forest was really good with the children as he was very friendly and enjoyed all the attention ... especially from the pretty ladies.
