Snow, what's new? - 4 H, family visits

It snowed most of the night and most of the day, I think.

Charlie had a 4-H meeting, this afternoon and wanted to get "snacks" for the meeting, so he went to grocery shopping with me. I spent 1/3 more than I usually do.

Charlie's brother, Dick and his wife, drove from Houghton Lake to Lansing to see some of Charlotte's family and came down here for a short visit.

All but 1 of the 4-H members showed up for the meeting, and all but one of those parents, it was an organizational meeting, so he asked the parents to come. One of the families has 6 kids and all but one of them is not old enough to show horses. Boy do they have a lot of energy. The last of them left after 8:00.

Charlie says he is going ice fishing tomorrow, I guess in the evening we are going out to dinner. He told me on Thursday he was taking me out to dinner on Sunday for my birthday.
My don't I lead an exciting life.

Happy New Year

We did nothing last night, Charlie didn't even stay up long enough to wish me happy new year. He was out before 9:00. I did manage to see the ball drop and call Shonda and wish her a happy new year.

We woke up this morning to more than 4 inches of snow. I managed to go out and get some pictures before there were too many tracks, even before breakfast. See what happens when you go to bed so early.

In the New Year, may your right hand always be stretched out in friendship, never in want.

Que' Pasa?

As George Carlin used to say "Que' Pasa?"
My answer, not much this week, pretty quiet here, At work I had orientation for two new library employees, I think they will work out well, they both seem to be a lot of fun and have a lot of enthusiasm.
At home, Winter sports awards- Anna received an all conference academic athlete award for having a grade point of 3.2. She also received an MVP in Cross country, I think all three of the Seniors did for being good role models for the younger team members.

Anna went bowling with the Cross country team on Friday and shopping in Lansing with one of the girls on Saturday. She and Shonda are Christmas shopping again today.

Charlie got a couple more pictures of deer on his trail camera- I think they are of the same deer he got pictures of last week.

Noting else- pasaing here.
