In this long week, some pictures were found on my camera, and they’re sweet. Okay that’s her after she decorated cooky number two and decided to just go ahead and EAT. Oh my goodness, just looking at her silly face makes me laugh. Thursday night we drove out to Wisconsin for the Christmas program at […]
Today was Grandma’s funeral. We drove out on the most treacherous nasty roads, through the most beautiful hilly Wisconsin countryside, all the fields light pink and golden, snow coating the pines. The sweet little church was filled with cousins and aunts and uncles. Above is a picture from 25 years ago, and below one from
Yeah, we made it to church and back, and Santa is struggling. Hang on, Buddy. We keep shaking the snow off him and straightening him up. We’re not sure how it would play out allowing him buried under a foot or two of snow and then trying to get him on his feet again.

My camera doesn’t do very well with far away action shots, but we enjoyed the game. He didn’t particularly like the squeaking of tennis shoes against the wood floor, and he didn’t like the whistles or buzzers either. Ahh, Lizeth and Julia hanging out. James is the guy in the orange shoes. There was a
About four in the afternoon, I had the idea we should go downtown to the Macy’s Santa display. Jay made a horrible face like I’d suggested a root canal, but after a little while he warmed up to the idea. When Joe came to pick up the baby I posed it to him, and he
This trio of dogs was on the kitchen cupboard when I came home late in the night. Early in the morning this girl arrived, and you can see how she feels about the dogs and their singing. After this, she and I went back to bed, mostly because I was cold. I put Curious George

Thanksgiving morning it was close to 60 degrees out. By evening, it was sleeting and snowing. At this point Friday morning it was about 20 degrees with a stiff wind. Twenty degrees will feel fine to us in a month, but we are not used to it yet. We drove to the town where Dannell
