My Letter to Santa

Dear Santa,

I have been extra good this year in anticipation of finally getting a visit from you.  Here are a couple of items I could sure use and while I do not ask that you get me all of them...one or two would be nice for as you know...I am not greedy.

1.  A kind and considerate new owner for Walter

2.  An acre or less of highway frontage in my favorite desert

3.  A rebuilt transmission for Terlita (my camping van)

4.  A new camera

5.  A small storage shed

6.  An adult bicycle (yes the one with three wheels)

7.  An electric lawn mower

8.  A Betty Boop purse (read my prior post so you know where to purchase it Santa)

9.  A good paying out-of-state but preferably out-of-the-country job for mother's worthless Plumber and Yardman so they NEVER return to Del Rio.

10. Last but not least a tall weathered cowboy :)


Santa I know last year I was able to offer you these:

I regret that this year the budget will only allow me to share the following with you...well look at it on the bright side...at least you wont have a hangover :-)

Nutri Leche (Mexican milk) and cookies

Dear Santa

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, my two front teeth…hey wait, I already got those back when I was eight…

Santa, I have been very good this year hoping that you would not forget about me like you have in prior years :-(

Here is my list:

1. I am not greedy Santa, even though there is a lot of acreage in Terlingua, I only ask for 1 acre or less of highway frontage so I can sit in my front porch and watch a car drive by every 15 minutes.

2. A rebuilt transmission for Terlita (my camping van)

3. An honest and knowledgeable mechanic

4. A heavy duty weed eater and a gardener to operate it

5. A chain saw to cut down Mom’s horrible mesquite trees and a gardener to cut them

6. A heavy duty zero gravity chair

Last but not least:

7. A weathered cowboy…preferably with a job :D

Since you are probably sick and tired of milk and cookies, I have left you the following:
