Christmas in a RV

I can't really get going on my Christmas decorating until Tuesday when we are getting the coach washed, but I did get started in the back around my swing so thought I would show you what I have so far.
I love, love bottle trees, have ever since I saw them in Mississippi growing up. The summer before last I finally put one up in my back yard at home.

I love looking at it, the patio at home is my peaceful place. When Jay is out riding in the mornings Izzie and I are out here, thinking, talking, praying, working out all my problems.
I wanted the same thing here in Arizona, so last year Jay got me a swing and we planted some cactus and I had a few flowers.
When we got here this year I decided what I needed back there was a bottle tree and some more flowers. So I went shopping and my good man went working and this is what I have now.

I decided since I had a tree back there I would give it a little decoration too. We haven't put up any light yet but when we get finished next week I will show you some pictures.
Being away from family at Christmas is hard. We are lucky to have some good friends to share Christmas dinner with, but I would be lying if I didn't say my heart hurts that they are there all together at home and we are here.  If I could fly boy I would go home in a heart beat. But I can't so I try to do the best I can to keep focused on the reason we celebrate and make our home here cheery and warm( although warm is usually not a problem in Arizona, but you know what I mean)
Short post I know, but I will get organized and back into the swing of things I promise.
