A Voice From Afar

Do You See What I See - Garden Valley Idaho
I was listening to my brother, Kieran, on the radio. He does a monthly guest appearance on WUSR Radio at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania. It was great to hear his voice. He’s so far away…. At Christmas time I miss him more than usual.
He dedicated a song for me on the show. It was my favorite Christmas song. It’s a fun and silly song that I have taught to all the family. It made me laugh while I sang along on the live audio program.
Kieran talked to his audience about Garden Valley. As he described the area it made me realize the everyday joys, the simplicity of life and the winter wonderland that is Garden Valley. Kieran has visited here numerous times. The way he described Idaho, the exuberance in his voice, the knowledge that many of his nor’eastern listeners may be unaware that a place like Garden Valley really exists.
He ended the show by reminding his listeners that during the Holiday Season it is important to remember the real meaning of Christmas and consider those less fortunate than ourselves. So I am offering a special Christmas wish to all who have never seen
“Feet” of snow
Christmas trees cut yourself
No traffic lights
Gravel roads
Deer and Elk
Snow capped mountains
The snow when it sparkles in the moonlight
Everyone waiving as their neighbors drive by
Thanks Kieran for reminding me of the best Christmas gift of all; Garden Valley! Merry Christmas to you, your family and all of you bloggers out there.
And a Happy New Year too!
Thanks for listening to the show,Kathleen. We have beautiful winters here in Pennsylvania,too but Garden Valley is a truly magical place. My visits there have always been more like adventures. Hope to get back there soon.
