Grandkids new pics





We have the pleasure of our 5 grandchildren from North Carolina living with us for a while. It certainly has been fun to have them around all the time. Visiting once or twice a year is not the same. Enjoy the pics

Florida Trip



A couple of weeks ago we took a few days off and made a quick trip to Florida. The weather was pretty cold but we had a couple of fairly nice days. Saw lots of birds, a couple of dolphins that were too far out to get pictures of and we were able to visit for a few hours with some friends from Elkhart that winter in Sebring.

Christmas programs







Last week was busy with Christmas programs. Noah's was first, held in the gym at Trinity. VERY crowded, but we still were able to see well. Chase's band concert was next, held on Sunday at Constantine High School. He is a senior this year and so very grown up. Dakota's program was Tuesday, at Beickman Performing Arts Center at Concord. Wonderful program, his music teacher is the same one Sara had.

Crystal Valley Christmas





Dakota and I were able to attend the ice carving at Crytal Valley Christmas in Middlebury. The ice sculptures were wonderful and Dakota had a good time at the old time hardware in Middlebury.

Christmas Cookies







Early in November I spent the weekend with my cousin Donna and two friends Judy and Pearl baking cookies and sweets for Christmas. We baked Friday night until about 9:00 and all day Saturday until late. Cookies, brownies, bars and candy. We all took home container after container to have for the Holidays.

Jean Stratton Porter State Historic Site






Thursday on my way to Fort Wayne for my mom's 88th birthday I stopped at Jean Stratton Porter State Historic Site. Is is beautiful. The sun peaked out a few time while I was there. I didn't take the time to tour the log home. Maybe next time. Enjoy the photos, I am looking forward to going back in the summer, the gardens are lovely.
