Finally, A Good Snow
Winter Fun
With the cold weather we have been able to get out ice skating on the oxbows and creek.
Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving this year followed the traditional schedule.
The Neighborhood Cat
This is Stormy. I think that is the name our girls made up for the cat that makes the social rounds in the neighborhood.
Cross Country Dinner
We hosted the Valley Cross Country team for dinner this evening. A team dinner is a standard occurrence the day before a meet, but this week the meet is canceled because of the heat, which is also why everything is set up inside.
Father’s Day
For Father’s Day today Lucia, Rose and I enjoyed a very hot bike ride to Dairy Queen then did some light grilling on our “new” grill scavenged from our neighbor’s garbage. At least once or twice a summer we do te bike ride to Dairy Queen – about 4 miles each way.
Driveway Basketball
End of the year fun
Eclipse
There was an eclipse. We couldn’t travel because of some obligations in town, but we made the most of it. Cracker Barrel came through with some last-minute glasses and we pulled the girls out of school. It was fun.
Father Daughter Mother Dance
Lucia, Rose and I missed the Father Daughter Dance at our church this year, so we hosted our own, at our house, and moms are invited (and brothers).
