Merry Christmas!!

Grandma thought for sure that since we had no children or grandchildren visiting for Christmas that Santa would pass over our house. But to grandma's surprise HE DIDNT FORGET US!!
However, grandma forgot to put out milk and cookies for Santa and carrots for Rudolph. So Santa stopped by after we had opened the presents for an energizing snack on the way back to the North Pole. Rudolph was disappointed that grandma still forgot to put out the carrots!! Shame, shame!!
Christmas afternoon we joined Sage, David, Jessica, Stephen, Victoria, and Mary for our traditional picnic fun on our beautiful Florida beach in honor of those northerners who insist that they prefer "change of seasons" in the frozen, snow-bound northland rather than the pleasant Christmas weather in Florida.

Getting ready for Christmas

Prince David invited us to a madrigal dinner and concert to get us in the holiday mood.


We've even had beautiful sunsets to get us in the mood.

So our house is all decorated and ready for Christmas.



December Home Improvement

Each month we try to finish one more project on our log cabin. This month we installed lights and fans on the porches.

November Fun with Grandkids

Cross country meets:


Toe fishing and bungee cord walking

Fossil hunting

Beach and water fun



Sport fun



Developing survival skills by drawing, building houses, cracking coconuts for food, looking for information electronically




Relaxing in hammocks or sitting around talking






Of course we had lots of good food to keep the troops happy!! (I didn't get a picture of the 20 or so boxes of breakfast cereal and the several gallons of milk that was a key to their happiness.)
