Neighbor ducks

I'm trying to get caught up again, so I'm going back to January. Aubrey was here to spend a couple hours with me when Barry and Heather had her Dr. appnt. We braved the cold and went to see the ducks. It's pretty fun for Gramma, too.

One of my most prized possession - besides my family, of course. I've been buggin' Spence for about 2 years for a Woodland t-shirt. But I finally was able to procure a nice sweat shirt. Now I can be official when I do errands for the company. Thanks so much, Spencer!

Seattle

I went to Seattle last week with Barry, Heather and Aubrey. It was a very hard week, but we managed to squeeze in a little fun. We went to the Space Needle, rode the ferry to Bainbridge Island and went to Pike's Market to see them throw the fish and saw Mt. Rainier. I am so glad I got to spend with week with them - not for the reason we went, but to be with them. We so appreciate Connie and Mike for housing us all week. We love them. They were so good to us. I loved spending time with Aubrey.

Christmas in Jackson

All of our children spent Christmas with their in-laws this year. It was our "off year". I couldn't bear to be home alone after 35 years, so we gathered up Arlene and Dave and went to Jackson Hole for Christmas. It was certainly different. It was very wintry. The trees and snow were gorgeous. Twas 10 below the morning we came home. We rode the 100 passenger tram to the top of the mountain - up 10,400 feet and ate at the restaurant on the side of the mountain. We saw the elk and had a very relaxing weekend. Christmas came and went and we hardly noticed. I always wondered what Santa did the day after Christmas! It was fun to spend time together. We missed the kids, but tried to make the best of it! Merry Christmas!

Grandma, Cassie, Brandon and Kiera

Christmas Eve in Idaho Falls, Cass, Brandon and Kiera stopped in on their way to Billings and spent the night. We had a nice Christmas Eve and so enjoyed seeing them. Was wonderful to spend some time with Grandma.

My Old Stompin' Grounds

While I was in Idaho Falls the week of Christmas, I was able to ride out to Monteview to see the farm with Steve and Arlene. Stopped to see where Mom and Dad are buried. We had a nice day. I love the Lemhi Mountain Range. Had a very relaxing week with Arlene. Was able to see Jaime, and all of Arlene's girls, Steve and Pam and David. I am so thankful for my brothers and sisters. They are my best friends!

Christmas 2009

We were able to get together with Spencer, Sara and the kids, Rusty, Annie and Eric and Alisha before Christmas. Sara fixed a nice dinner and we all spent a nice evening together.
