December

Well, we are into the first week in December. We went out to eat last night with Norm and Sandy at the Bay Mills Casino. We had the buffet--crab legs, prime rib,white fish and ribs--plus all the other good things. It is well worth the money and we had a good time. We had a table in the glass enclosure and it was more quiet and very nice. We saw two coyotes crossing to the lake when we left their house so I called Sandy to let her know as they were going to take their dogs out. I sure wouldn't want poor Mia to be a victim and some coyotes supper. I have not heard of any other dogs missing so people must be watching. I got up at 5:30 to put some wood on the fire and saw a wolf on the side trail. He sure was big. He was at least as big as Alida's dog Ceasar. He looked and me and melted into the trees. I watched for him to come back out but no luck. I'm glad he is shy of people so he can live. It is really special to see a wild animal in it's own environment living like it should. We have the truck in the garage and by tonight the tractor will join it. Dennis got the tree down so it will go up this week. The days are flying by and soon it will be Christmas. Happy children, frazzled parents-Oh what fun! Have a good day!
