We took a very quick trip to Craig, Colorado.
Years and years ago Terry was a plumber. Also, he knows how to do house wiring from all his years in the Electrical trade…therefore, when Kelly called and asked if Terry would come up and help with a small remodel he was doing for their house.
The answer was: “Sure, I’ll put the water in the pasture and we will head up”!
LUCKY LUCKY Terry and I!

Our Craig, Colorado kids all went home…without two of the grandchildren 🙂 Blade wanted to stay with Aunt Shannon (part-time) and with his cousin on his Dad’s side some/most of the time. Blade and Zack are very close cousins and friends so spending time with each other is very special to both of them. Blade will also spend time with us…at 13 you just have so much you want to do, with so little time to do it.
Tally is staying with us. I will call a little friend she liked to play with sometime today and arrange a play date, but mostly it will be Tally, Grandpa and I. We will got see Aunt Shannon and Jason and the dogs and cats, but that will be just to visit.
Linkin and her best friend will be spending the whole week at Craig, no brother or sister to interrupt their very serious best-friend-forever time. Then next weekend we will switch and Linkin will spend the week with us. (I’m sure Elly will be here and Linkin will be at her house off and on.)
On our way to get some guinea pig food (Blade’s pig is staying with us also 🙂 ) Grandpa and Tally wanted to play at one of the parks on the way home. There was a little girl already playing there, which added to the fun. (Who do you think had the most fun?
1 Tally ?
2. New Friend ?
3 Grandpa ?
If you guess Grandpa…YOU WIN!!! Just look at that smiles— they say it all.
I’m so far behind on commenting, but please know that I am reading them. I am also reading your blogs. I am also a tad stretched at the moment, but I hope to get into a routine soon.

The kids made it home! My critter sitting is done until they go back to visit the Grandparents in Nebraska or Kelly’s brother in Kansas. That won’t be for awhile now as trips like that have to fit into school breaks.
Our indoor cat was very interested in Hermie the guinea pig, Snowball the bunny wasn’t nearly as interesting. Probably because the rabbit couldn’t see the cat and the cat couldn’t see the rabbit.
The trap lines are busy….mice can destroy feed grains, cars and trucks, and anything else thier sharpe little teeth can get into, they also build nests in the hay, which is not good. Not good at all.
Terry is working on the corn combine….blowing out the filters, plus other job of maintentance.
So not much happening here, but the same old stuff.
Oh…and the letter to Santa was my letter, that Momma saved. I found it in her cedar chest after her death. I thought it would be something fun to share.
