Another First!!!

Well, Ron finally got his first buck today. I was playing, I mean exercising with the Wii when I got a call from his cell phone. After tracking deer for 3 weeks, he had staked out a spot where it looked like they were hanging out and got a nice size buck with his cross bow. Boy was he excited. He did have to drag it up the ravine for about 30 minutes to the truck. In the snow. I helped him drag it into the back off the pickup (gross, gross, gross) and off we went to the check point and then the processing shop. Did I mention it was a little gross, but soon we will have a nice supply of trail bologna (it's an Ohio thing....) and some other cuts that I will have to learn to cook. Notice I did not post any pictures. Oh, we have them, but the icky factor was way too..... well.... icky.

Images of Christmas

Christmas this year was spent in Georgia at our oldest daughter's home. Cindy and her family went to so much effort to make this Christmas as jolly as possible. Cookies and candy treats to eat, crafts to make and outings to exciting activities.....not a moment was wasted!

When our children were young, each year they and their cousins performed the Christmas Story, complete with costumes and much drama. How wonderful to see their children continue the tradition.

Christmas morning brought stockings full of treats and presents from Santa and family.

Another wonderful year with those we hold dearest. Merry Christmas everyone!
