happy saturday
These pictures turned up on Instagram and made me happy. That’s Johann above, his own baby in his right arm, and Dan and Alicia’s baby, his newborn niece, in his left arm. I am anticipating cousin fun from here to eternity. This is a picture Kirsten took of the new baby. Just wow. This
a friday to remember
So before anyone else was up, I washed this fine floor and then realized I had no floor wax–had to go buy some. The rugs were in the dryer, and what the heck? Looking good now. Later Dannell called to see if we were home and had time to hang out. Yes. This little

Alicia took this one too and it took about ten photos to get one of them all somewhat looking forward. They are a wild, bouncy bunch. love always, GRANDMA

sunday
Here it starts, same place it ends tonight. Guy asleep across the bed, dog next to him. Sunday morning was the Christmas program. We did not participate at our old church in the city. We attended at this one much closer to home. Tim’s the tallest kid in sixth grade, last year of Sunday School.
snowy monday
Here are some Halloween crafts that appeared, looking FANTASTIC. So much fun. Alicia called and texted this morning with time to kill driving around on slippery roads, and yes. It worked out great. Kids, grilled cheese, time to play outside in the snow. Pssht. This snow arrived very suddenly and also is not particularly popular. We’re dealing
