Wonderful Christmas!

Not white but a Wonderful Christmas.  D in a Shoulder Sling and enjoying the recliner after surgery on the 22nd.  S didn't have to worry about getting packages to Ukraine in time or what to send that may not arrive.  Having K here was an extra bonus for us.  N is just a kid at Christmas and very easily satistified with the simple things.  Family get togethers are the highlight of the season.  We are so blessed with wonderful Family.  Looking forward to a Happy New Year.

Monday October 7th

It feels like Winter!

We had a great Fall Break in Bryce Canyon and the Slot Canyons.  We read about Butch Cassidy and even saw his boyhood home in Circleville.  We read about his life and happenings.  We stopped at Cove Fort.  This was the first trip having the whole family there.  What a treat!

The Pumpkin carve was a great time.  Good food, family, friends, and roasted pumpkins seeds.

Halloween brought out the Cowgirl in C and N was Vector from "Dispicable Me".

We are now in slow...Motion with D recovering from Back Surgery on the 3rd.  The Dr.'s Nurses etc and McKay Dee hospital is just, Outstanding!  We are so blessed to have modern advancements, technology and procedures.

We are so very GRATEFUL !
