Where's the truck?
This is the drifted snow on the black truck which was sitting in the front yard.
Yikes - Dad is thinking of putting chains on this truck and drive out .
Snow Storm 2008
We just went in the back yard to measure again and it is now 22 inches on the flat.
(Way above the boot liine)
Beautiful Snow Day
It has been snowing since yesterday morning - no stopping. I swept the sidewalk three times yesterday and it didn't help a bit. This morning everything is at a stand still with all things closed down. The courthouse, the Fed. bldg. etc.
all schools and colleges closed too. We had 20 inches in the back this morning and more coming down. This is a terrific storm we have and Dad just couldnt get into town. You can see this one picture of the back yard where the boat is and its completely covered. The Temperature is 17 so this snow is not going anywhere soon.
It came up to Dad's knees when he went out to the shop to find his shovel. It's beyond snow blower action. too bad. Anyway, it's beautiful to look at - everything is clean and white and quiet here on the street where we live.
Our Exercise program
This is Dad, working hard as usual, but at home. He couldnt make it into work so decided to work at home.

CHRISTMAS AT THE TEMPLE
This is the newest addition to our Temple. The Nativity is to the left
of the Temple as you walk into the grounds. It is located on a seating area
and of course it lit by spot lights and it is very beautiful. What a nice
addition for the Christmas season.

Arboretum
It's just a beautiful place to walk and enjoy the fresh air. This arboretum is pretty in the fall and I love to go at least once a year and see the leaves.
Lots of Leaves
Mindy, Davis and I spent a late afternoon at the Arboretum. There were still leaves on the ground to shuffle through. We also saw three deer wandering in the park. This is Mindy and Davis gathering leaves. It's impossible to just walk
through without touching some of them. Davis loved being at the park and just
running forever and ever.
Greenbluff Saturday and Pumpkin Donuts
Dad and I and Mindy took the kids to Greenbluff on a Saturday afternoon. It was the last weekend of the apple festival so there were just tons of people all over and traffic was awful. Anyway, we had a good time, (I think)The kids each picked out a pumpkin and we did the train ride. We went to Harvest House for donuts and Dad was a real trooper to stand in the long line for us. Mindy was a trooper as well in trying to get some pictures of the kids. That's a feat in itself. By the time we left to go home we (the adults) were all tuckered out and ready for a nap.
Three Muskateers at Greenbluff
Mindy worked so hard getting this picture. I am sure all of the people around
us were entertained for awhile. Anyway, it turned out pretty darn good I think.
Thanks Mindy for your patience and expertese.(sp)

Logan's Visit
Kris and Logan have been with us for about a week and what a fun time we are having with them. We are getting acquainted with Logan again and he is a delightful little boy. It took him several days to finally discover that these doors actually open and there are fun and interesting dishes inside. Consequently, we put a lock on them just for safety reasons. I keep the lock handy for that purpose but had not had reason to actually use it until this day. He's such a super kid.
My Three Hats
Logan loves hats and these pictures just prove that. Anything that can fit on the
head will do. By the way, the can makes a great drum.
Cartoons and Rockers
Logan loves this little rocking chair. He comes and climbs in and makes himself
comfy for a few quick minutes of cartoon time. It's a rocking chair I had when I
was about 3 and had been restored by my Dad back in the 80's. Glad we have it
for little boys to sit in.
