Bring on the family

Well they (you) are on their (your) way to grandma's house. We have the standard crappy weather to travel in but it could be much worse. I grow tired of all the standard news stories that seem to come along this time of year:

  • The cost of dinner has gone up $**.** this year.
  • The cost of driving home has gone up $**.** this year.
  • "Blank" many people are going hungry this year.
  • Heating your home will go up $**.** this year.
  • Gloom, doom and maroon!

Linc (a freshman) will be playing on the JV basketball team this year. I'm proud and concerned at the same time. I'm proud of his abilities but concerned at the extra stress this move will put on him. He's had bronchitis for a week now and has missed some practice but I'm sure he will be up to speed very soon.

We plan on naming and blessing 'Leenie in church Sunday and have invited all family to the event and should have a fair representation there.

Work is somewhat more interesting lately since I have several new parts to program for and prove out. The stability of the company is still a question in my mind however.

We had parent/teacher conferences the other day and had four different schools to go to. Wife and I split up the chore and found out that, yes, we have very exceptional children who are a delight to teach.

I found out recently that my buddy Dave is planning on moving to Texas, just because. He's been in Arizona for ten years and his last boy is headed out on a mission in February so he's got itchy feet. He is self-employed so can work anywhere.

Well folks will be a arriving soon so I'd better go.

Thanks for sharing Thanksgiving news and a shot of the hill's star capped with snow. Congrat to our star bball player for making JV. Chuckarama provided dinner for 2 Wy nomads and M&N&4 energetic hungry boys and long lines of other people. The food was endless and I enjoyed not having to do any cooking. Gave time for the 8 of us to travel to Mt. Meadows Massacre Monument and colorful Cedar Breaks near "Juniper" City before dinner. The weather was sooo cold at the sites. The wind is constant this week in our camping town named after the wind. When the flags quite waving horizonal we will think they are broken! Our RV rocks and rocks. This gma is thankful the 4 oldest gkids are sooo smart and well mannered in school. Enjoy the Holiday and the day of blessing your beautiful baby girl.
