Winter Begins

Winter began for us the Saturday before Christmas. It started with light snow outside and stomach flu inside. I guess it was better to have it then, rather than closer to Christmas. On Christmas Eve we had Jim, Tara, her boyfriend and his four kids over for dinner and presents. Their mom had passed away in the fall, so we tried to help make it a decent Christmas for them. Christmas Day we had Jennifer, Eddie and the grandkids over for dinner and more presents. Both days went very well and this will be a Christmas to remember!

We have already started our winter house cleaning and I'm not sure what plans we'll come up with for New Years. The snow has continued to fall ... a little at a time ... and that's how we like it. I've spent some time on a new quad-core computer and I think it's just about ready to take over for an older computer. I try to keep the technology from getting too old.

We are looking ahead and planning some vacation time for the warmer weather. I'm sure we'll be more than anxious to get the RV opened up as soon as weather permits.
