Craft Show

Today was the craft show in Paradise. It was a lot smaller than last year but the things they had were very nice. There were alot of smiling faces and I think Clare had the best smile of all. She was so happy and was very good. Brenden and Josh colored some pictures and I don't remember if Aaron was there. He is very quiet. Nicholas stayed home with the guys. Jackie, Terrie and Sandy were going up to the Paradise Sewing Center to see what they were doing there. Heidi and I came home. Heidi is due with her 1st baby on the 10th of December. She is doing very well but isn't up to walking for along time. Mark is hoping the snows hold off till after the baby is born. I don't blame him as it's over an hour to the hospital on good roads. Well, we are working on our last pile of wood so out I go to help. Have a good day!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving ! We are having a gathering at Davisburg and most of the kids will be there. Ann, Rich, Becca, Sarah and Terese Rose will be having Thanksgiving in Virginia. We will miss them but they can't come to everything. It is a long ride for them and we will be so glad to see them at Christmas. The guys will hunt this afternoon and the kids will watch t.v. and play games. We will all be stuffed and be happy we are all well. Health is one of the greatest gifts. Enjoy your day. God bless!

Happy Birthday Norm, Tom and Mark

The end of November comes along with the birthdays of three good men. Norm is my nephew and he is a hard working young man who is making a good life along with Dominique who loves him. He is a much loved brother and son. He has always brought pride and happiness to his parents. We wish him a great year and hope to see him and Dominique soon. Love you both. Tom B. is almost like one of my own. We have known him since he was a little boy and watched him grow into being a man. He is working hard at school and we know he will do well. He is a kind thoughtful young man and is loved by his family. His little nephew finds a protector and friend in him. Have a good year Tom. We think a lot of you. Mark is our neighbor in Paradise. He has been a friend and we admire his way of thinking and how he takes care of his family. He is soon to be a Grandpa and that little one is lucky. We hope the year brings much happiness.

Wood Supply Moved and Finished!

We have been working very hard to get all our wood moved to a permanent place. It was a long process but we are done. We have some wood to cut and stack yet but that can be done any time.

It measures about 50ft long by 6 ft.wide. That's alot of wood.

What track is this?

Got back up to Paradise last night and put out some treats for my little fox. This morning there was another animal track out there and as you can see it was not my little fox. What made this track? I know it is not a bear but it is something big.

Happy Anniversary Ann and Rich!!!

Today is Ann and Rich's Anniversary. They have three beautiful girls, Becca, Sarah and Terese Rose. They moved to Virginia to get better jobs and made a nice home there for their girls. Rich is famous for his Beer and Bacon and we have joined the club. Many of the people who come to visit go home and have that same thing on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Ann and Rich make great things on the grill and Dad and I especially love the crab--huge treat for us. They have worked together and the happy faces of their kids show they are doing a good job. It is hard to raise a family and a loving partner makes it alot easier. We treasure them and are very lucky to have such great kids and grandkids. Have a good year! Love you!!

Happy Anniversary Jim and Kelly!!

Today is Jim and Kellys Anniversary. They are a couple who are working hard together to raise two beautiful kids, Celeste and Dylan. They are busy and it's hard to find time in their day for everything. Jim is on the go from morning to bedtime. Kelly is more a slow but steady person. They love their jobs and families. They are tucked in with my other treasures and make our hearts happy. Have a good year. Be kind to each other and find time for a Mom and Dad date. We all need those and even more when your lives are so busy.
