Hey there...

It is cold here today with a little snow cover, an inch more tomorrow.

Starting to get the Christmas stuff around and up, boxes sitting everywhere. We don't have our tree yet, so that will be the next project. Rick put red and green covers on our lights outside. No shopping done . The December calendar is getting full.

They are resting up from the trip north, no deer to bring home. Mom and Dad went to doctor yesterday, since they both came home sick. Dad had it before he left and Mom got it after they were there.

Lucy has a retina that is detaching from her eye. She was in Chicago for Thanksgiving and it started happening there. I think the plan is up in the air right now.

I have added an email group to send out an email whenever I post to the blog as a reminder.

Still working on Dad's Medicare drug coverage. We are going to go up and check out what he can maybe get from the VA first and go from there. Mom is all set.

Later,

Snowing here now

Dad wants Jess and me to put the chickens in the shed tonight so they don't freeze. they are coming back home Friday morning. The storm is supposed to move in Friday, so I think they hope to be far enough south to be okay. Rick hasn't got anything. Dad hasn't been out. He keeps saying he thinks it's getting better, but the next time I talk to them, I'm not so sure. Mom will get him doctored up when they get home.

The kids will all be over tomorrow for dinner, I don't know what they are doing up there , but I know Rick is going out hunting in the morning. Wayne too??

Ross is about done working, a couple days this week and a couple days next week and that will be it. He is watching Kayla while Amanda goes back to work. Who would have thought it ??????

HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!!!!
COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS, NAME THEM ONE BY ONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Later,

Phelps happenings

I think Rick is having fun. Dad is starting to feel better. I'll take some pictures tonight with mom and dad.

Cold and Bright

They all got out of here about 8:30.

Jess had his interview for direct hire at Sauder's this morning. He has been on through the temp service. Will probably go to second shift (boo) but will get to stay in Contours (yeah). Will also get a several dollars an hour raise (yeah), with more every 6 months for the first 3 years. Contours is easy work and the highest pay, he will be running a CNC machine. Also out of the blue, she began asking him about his sales experience. She was impressed with his ability to speak to her, his openness, and asked if he would be willing to go into sales if he could. He is cautious but thrilled. I am praying that this may be the good to come out of the 3 1/2 years. ( you know every cloud has a silver lining they say !!!!!!)

That's all for now,

They are ready to go....

Jess went over and helped Mom and Dad get loaded up and Rick is on his last things. They are planning on pulling out at 8:00 am.

Ross, Amanda and Kayla were down last night, but we didn't see them, we were all gone. They did go to Mom & Dad's and then took her over to Pam and Roger Rice, Molly's parents to see them.

Well if you guys have enough of hunting, you can always go out on the snowmobiles !!!!!!

Went to play poker last night and won. $78.00. Usually play on Tuesday and Saturdays if there isn't anything else going on at the Henry County Sportsman club. It is a 10.00 buy-in.

Haven't played for a few weeks, so I surprised myself. There is a group of about 20 to 30 that plays, mostly men, but a few ladies are there sometimes.

Later,
