Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All!

Ho, Ho, Ho!

Tis the season for sure! Snow is on the ground and more is in the forecast. Cold temperatures continue to make you shiver but are soothed by the cozy warmth of the wood stove. 

This might be the biggest surprise of yet. I have been asked to be an angel in this year's living nativity at our church tonight. It will be the best chance I suppose, of having that unique title... 

Our family enjoyed a wonderful early Christmas together here last Sunday. I treated fourteen to a prime rib dinner, homemade pie and good fellowship. We had fun and opened our gifts from each other. Paqui will be going to Marc's family's gathering and Jessamyn and Jay are heading to Colorado with Jay's family. Taylen and Jarret or attending the Pieper Christmas gathering in Haysprings.  I will be dog sitting Sunny and refereeing the jealous doggy altercations here at home. 

It looks like they been nipping too much holiday cheer!

I am done teaching but continue to consult in Scottsbluff with Linda. Looks like we will be doing more after the new year. I am looking forward to the end of January when I will be flying to the warmth of the islands again. So may God bless you all this new year!

Foundered on Thanksgiving!

I had an exceptional Thanksgiving this year. It was just the immediate family, small but filled with so much love! We stayed toasty with the wood burner on full throttle and plenty of turkey for all.

Saturday I traveled to Chadron with Marc and Paqui to celebrate Jay's mother's 60th birthday bash at the Bean Broker. Andrea"s party theme was black and white semi/formal. I being older and never having worn heels was in sparkly flats while others in 4 inch heels. I felt like one of the little people amongst the giants in skin tight dresses that towered over me. Marc, Paqui and I stayed overnight. Taylen ported me back to the hotel in a legal and DD safe way.

Its has been a wonderful week that I will cherish forever! Love my family so much!


A sideline note that all the deer hunters have bagged their tags this year. Both Taylen, Jarret and Jay have pictures with their bucks. This year Jay shot his first buck, he usually guides and has not shot one of his own... what a guy!
