brief update

Greetings people!

We are well here at the moment. 3 of the 4 of us had a nasty stomach bug over New Years. The oldest is still holding out, and I hope he doesn't get it.  It was BAD, but it only lasted 12 hours.  We missed our neighborhood New Years Eve celebration, where those in attendance wound up coming down with the flu and have been down much of the last week.   Hope you are staying healthy where you are!

We started skiing with Special Olympics!  We'll be skiing alot until mid-march.  There is snow, not a ton, but enough for everything to be open.  We are due for mid 50s tomorrow, with 60 mile an hour winds. A front comes through the next day and temps will be in low teens and 0 for lows with a good chance of snow.  It has been nice to be above freezing the past few days.

Honey is working hard on the shop. He wired outlets and lights on the outside of the building and wired switches into the house for them, so we can turn them on and off from inside. That will come in handy.

We've enjoyed reading all the Christmas letters/cards from you.  So glad to hear whats going on in your lives.  If you haven't gotten yours out yet, we'd still love to receive it!  Christmas and birthdays are the best time of year for mail, aren't they?

We had a family discussion the other night and came up with some family goals for the year- things we'd like to see/do over the next year.  All are positive changes- hope we can stick with them!  Did you set any resolutions?

Thats it in brief from here.  Trying to be better at keeping you posted.  Hope things are going well there too! Stay healthy!!
