So ---- how to catch up........... it's been since September......
One nice piece of news was that the playground --- that a child had set fire to and burned a good portion of it-----was finally put back together in a new way. Gary built a deck and a chain ladder (had a little help from grand kids - Halle and Colton) and with the help of a few good men it was installed.
We hope the little ones are once again enjoying their play.....
We had a handsome antelope just north of us in the alfalfa circle......it wasn't this one --- I didn't have my camera (Of course) at the right time. This one was further north of us. I just think their markings are beautiful..... but I guess they are fence wreckers.....
And ..... Gary got his buck once again.....
We had fun in Michigan ---- good quality time with family and friends. We had Thanksgiving and Christmas rather early --- Nov. 20. Good food can be had anytime - any day....... And we were all going to be available on the 20th. We did eat a bit late ---- about 2:00 ---- :) :) someone forgot she was supposed to do the potatoes...... oh well ---- no problem.....and nope - not telling who that someone was. :) We always pack our time full --- so we do get worn out --- but lots of memories made.
We are always thankful for safe travel and good friends and a loving family. We don't all agree on everything --- but we do always love each other. I am now looking out on snow blowing around (and where is Gary?!?!? --- he took off to see how the roads are and no phone along ....so he might be waiting for a good neighbor to get him unstuck - --- don't know). Looks like our burn barrel is tipping over with the wind.... AH! winter --- gotta love it.
So thank you for your patience with the blog ---- hope you're still out there checking in on us!!!!...... I will, no doubt, continue to be slow on updates....but I WILL be able to find it now.
Love to each and everyone of you!! Keep your focus on God....Oh --- this quote from a Sunday service that I thought was SO good. "we generally become like the things we focus on" Hopefully we keep our focus on Christ. "Stay near to Christ and He will stay near to you"...... rather paraphrased but Biblical.
Gary and Barb
