Brrrrrrr.......

Well we all made it thru the cold snap. I think the coldest night was -19. coldest day -5. I don't know for sure what the wind chills were. Going to get up to 22 today. 12 right now and snowing again. Rick had fuel line feeze up last night when he went to town. I had told him to put on a heavier coat than his leather, and he did, but his gloves were in the other coat, so he was still mad when he got home because his hands were numb. Dad had all the animals in. The first day Rick had went over and helped him get the geese in the machine shed. There was enough snow and cold enough, Rick just walked up and carried them in.

No comments on the lovely little picture book? You guys must not have gotten the same kick out of it that I did.

There will not be a trip to Cooperstown in July, so if anyone starts to make summer plans let us all know.

Talk to you later, Cheryl

January 10, 2009

Mom and Dad had a good time at dinner. Went to Smokey Bones, a rib place in Toledo. The weather was a little iffy, but we all braved the drive down. Went in pairs so if anyone had trouble, someone else was close by. Glad that Jeanne was able to join us. She did leave right out Sunday morning and had clear roads on the turnpike for the drive back.

Happy Anniversary !!

55 long years ........LOL. Jeanne did get here safely, although slower at the end of drive. I talked to her several times along the way. The roads were fairly bad by the time she got off the turnpike. Tomorrow night we are all going out for supper, should be fun. I did get their picture in the paper, so you all will be getting that next week.

Congratulations Mom and Dad !!!!!!!!!!

Love Cheryl

Happy Holidays from Kansas!

Happy New Year !!!!!

Hope you have a great one. Rick and I will be having

shrimp cocktail and watching movies.

Mom and Dad went out for supper with Delmar and

Carol and then back to their house for the evening.

I am happy for the blessings we had this year, and

looking forward to the new year and things I can

do better and look forward to this year.

Christmas was good. Candlelight service was

canceled due to the ice, so that was a disappointment.

From Rick I got a digital photo frame that also plays

music and videos, so I have been having a great time

with that. I have it all loaded up. He said it was for me

to take to work, but I like having it here and adding

pics and songs all the time. When I get time I will put
up a link with all the Christmas pics.

We will have another big year ahead.

Mom and Dad's 55 years, John coming home,

David will graduate I think, Rick and I

will be doing Vegas in June for bowling tourney,

Cooperstown in July and whoever is coming

home during the summer.

that's it for now,

Cheryl

Merry Christmas Everyone !!!!!!!!!!!

Hoping all of you and yours has a Wonderful Merry Christmas.

We will be having dinner at 6:00, Christmas service at 7:30 and then presents after church.
Everyone will be there, so it should be great. I will be thinking of all of you and wishing blessings to you.

Everything is ice here and then covered with water, so quite scary sometimes. Big shortage of salt and too expensive so the state and county aren't using much. In fact the county none, except for intersections.

Please continue to keep John in your prayers. I have sent him the link and subscription to the blog, but he has not been able to activate, and I don't know if he has been able to visit or not.

All Our Love,
Rick and Cheryl

Good Morning

Hello Everyone,

I don't think I told you that Nathan got a doe and a buck this year. They were both good size. He was sooo proud of the buck. His first. It was an 8 point, too. He butchered it with the help of his brothers and sisters. I kept the tenderloin and made it into jerky. I am getting ready to send some to John.
For Christmas we are having Doug and Stephanie and Lois here. I am looking forward to that. I already have a menu planned as they will be here for several days. I'm wanting to have some snow here to brighten things up and it would be nice for Christmas.
I want to recommend a book that is popular right now, even on the New York Times best seller list, What in the World is Going On, by David Jeremiah my former pastor when I lived in Fort Wayne. ( He's long since left Fort Wayne) It's about the end times, which is beginning in the here and now! I don't have too many former pastors as my current pastor tends to follow me around! :)

Love, Jeanne
