Real Pearls from the Grandparents!

This Week's Happenings!!

Looking more like home with the doors on and the fireplace in!!
A fire started and spread toward Walnut Creek Yesterday.
It was contained by the airport.

Even though we don't like cats (most are allergic to them) ....this cat likes us and has adopted us!

While I was gathering laundry from the trailor is decided it had found a comfortable place.

We've had no mice this winter!

The white foam is up for the stucco.

This Week's Progress Amidst the Wind and Cold!

Dad and Josh Closed our Bedroom Off with Heaters so

I Could Stain and Seal the Exterior Doors.

The Front and Back Patio Concrete is Stamped and Stained to Look Like Stone

"Hey....Look at us.... We've figured out the first arch of many in this house!"

I told them it looks more Mediterranean Already!

They are so Good!!

Our Double Date

We had so much fun! I loved getting to double date with my brother!

Christmas in Colorado

We had entertainment, Christmas Carols and even our own dance!


God has blessed us with a close family that loves
God and one another!

We rented a place for our Christmas meal so all 20 of us could fit at one table!

John....the chef's assistant and Billy the chef. Billy made us pork tenderloin with apple chutney and fancy potatoes. We were all impressed and the women felt strange not doing the cooking. It was a real treat and very good food!

Enjoying a White Christmas

Josh loved "Playing with Fire" again!! Our campfire kept us warm while we sledded and cut down our tree. We heated our chili and hot cocoa on it and made a great Christmas Eve Day Memory!
