The calendar says it is still fall ---

But it feels like winter to me so I put out my winter decorations on the shovel that Shanell gave me years ago. Rod just called and Shanell is out of surgery. She did have her apendecs out and the Dr. said it needed to come out. I'm glad it was something they knew was causing the problem. She will come home tomorrow and will be forced to take a week off from work. I'll bet she will hate that. HA HA!

We have a new addition to our yard. We have been without TV for a couple of weeks and we are glad to have it back. It took the man yesterdaay about 3 hours to install it. They couldn't put it on a metal roof or metal siding which we have. So he had to put it on a metal post and cement it into the ground. At least it will be easy to remove the snow now. Just hope the kids in the neighborhood leave it alone.

Dec. 2, 2010--Mixed bag

I have been having quite a bit of pain so I have been heating up those rice bags . They do seem to help a litte. Here is our small nativity on the kitchen cubbard. It is a special time to remember the Saviour and celebrate his birth even though He was born on April 6. Sometimes we forget what Christmas is all about. Whenever I see Christmas written as Xmas, I think that they are just crossing Jesus out of the Holiday.

December 1, 2010-Christmas card wreath!

Bet you have never heard of a Christmas card wreath. Dad said "What is that?" As you can see I have been busy today sending out pictures of all of you that we took on Labor Day weekend and a note to all my family and friends. Becky helped me put the picture and a note on the computer to send to everyone. Of course she put the "crazy" one on the computer letters that you will get. We have the good one on the cards I sent in the mail.

Just look at all the places they are going to. Of course I had send the first one to Sister Parle in Scotland. It is fun to keep in touch with family and friends especially those I only get in touch with once a year. Christmas time, a time to share love with everyone. I have Christmas music and it really cheers you up. I reccomend it to all of you.

Which line should I follow? Nov. 30, 2010

This is a strange blog I Know. As you can see we had to have 3 different persons come out and trace the gas line, electris line, and one other I can't remember. They need to know where these are when the man comes tomorrow to put a post in our yard to hold the TV dish on. It is not supposed to be on a metal roof or metal siding which we have. Weird right. We haven't had much TV for 2 weeks now.

Recipes, and more recipies

I tried to get some of the recipies I have had lying in the cubbard in boxes so I tell tell whats what. It was quite a mess but should be better now.

This shows the backs of Sondreggers trees. Now the backs of three trees are scalped and one to the left of the picture is topped. It doewsn't look very nice. The good old power company is having a hay day again. Then they moved down behind Arnells. So Our view isn't as nice as it was. By the way they are trying to get a 13.5% raise in the power charges also. Upsetting!!

Christmas lights

Don't you love the blue lights above the computer cubbards. I love them.

This is a closeup on some of the decorations on our tree that Becky showed you. Thanks to her we got it decorated. It looks so much better than my picture yesterday. I guess we all look better when we are dressed up a little.

Christmas tree before decorated.

Derek and Becky went to Teton Valley to Henderson canyon to get our christmas trees. I think they did a great job. There was a lot of snow up there. Look at Becky's blog.
