Another Beautiful One


On January 10th Chuck and Michelle came out and we had Christmas for them.
They brought this very lovely card with ribbon bows on the trees and jewels.
This wonderful Christmas celebration consisted of trading gifts, visiting, a trip to the bowling alley, and a visit to Boston Pizza.
What fun. Let's do that again?

Happy Anniversary Day

Today, January 7th was our 43rd anniversary. Sandy took us out for dinner at the Cattle Co. Restaurant.
It was vey hard to get Jake to go..but we managed to get him going. It was fine once out and back. A nice meal and they gave good measure, too.
Tonight Ruth and Sharmaine came down for a visit. We played one game of Scrabble but Ruth and I chattered too much for Sam to even think. So I finished her game for her. Then Ruth and I went online to look up information about a Max Streckenbach picture that was here in the house when we came. That was interesting.
Then Jake showed some slides and we also had Christmas cake.
It snowed quite an amount late afternoon and evening.

Ruth brought a gift, and Sam brought a tin with 3 peanut butter cookies in it for us.
