A NEW YEAR 2011


I wanted to have a picture of Otto and Makons on my blog. We just had a new stained glass window put in by Dale Hillstrom of Federal Dam. We love it and also have new granite on the face of our fireplace.

I haven't visited my blog forever. Lots has happened but what I am excited about is in one week I get a cat-scan on my broken neck - I have had this collar brace on since Nov 19th and I am ready to have it removed. The new year is certainly a year to celebrate.

Our Skye has a new home in Mounds View and has become quite the fixer upper. Lots of fixing to be done but just think of it, all our kids have their own home and they are all currently working and that is cause enough to celebrate.

Our Mac and Laura are expecting a baby late April. A boy to go along with big sister Hope. What a blessing. Mac had a successful surgery last Nov and got his basement finished before his surgery.

It was more than fun to have Alexis and Skye here overnight on Christmas Day. Now that was all the Christmas present I needed but Jim still came through with a bunch of "Oscar" stuff. My kids will forever know me to smell like "Oscar".

We will be ushering for the next 3 weeks so I am starting the baking now. Made Oatmeal-Cranberry Nut Cookies yesterday and will make another cookie this week but don't know what yet.

Had prayer group this morning. So much to pray for in this crazy world we live in. We prayed for the Tucson victims and families and for the shooter. How tormented he must be or full of the devil. Don't know which but needs our prayers and so does his family.

I cannot wait till I am writing about our trip South in our new camper. My 25th Wedding Anniversary present. Jim is full of surprises and My sister Heidi and brother Mark are going to fly out to Laughlin in April to visit us. Yipee Skipee.
