Had a visitor to my tree this morning. They're are a lot of these guys here but this is the first time I had one where I could get a video.

Red Headed Woodpecker! I like hearing them hammer away at trees looking for bugs.

Me to! I even like it when a squirrel sees me and starts fussing at me for being in their trees lol. Nature is awesome. I have wanted for a while to setup a game camera over a deer carcass to see what all animals come to eat it and today since we had an extra camera i set it up. They get picked mostly clean over night here.

I always love seeing those woodpeckers!
 
Id trust R2r, but that's exactly why I choose to give directly, if I do. Of course I have my own kids that want presents too in this economy, so that's usually where my Christmas savings go.
I completely understand that! If I can give directly to the cause in person, I prefer to do that. The R2R Toy Drive is the only exception I make, but then again, I might be biased towards it, haha
 
Uhmm... Google was my friend on that one John.

I grew up "Halftholic". Catholic Father, Baptist Mother. Just imagine a Latin Casserole and there you go!

I think it's a wonderful drive, and id be very happy to be a part of it. Every year we ask the kids to "give up a gift" to another child or cause. We don't actually subtract anything from them, but they believe we do. This year I think we'll choose the R2r toy drive. I know im the r2r representative of my household, but my wife and boys love the r2r community and the Smorgasbord family.
 
Better late than never lol, our Christmas tree, The decoration outside is already set up, but the lights won't arrive until Wednesday.
