Catching up

Well another year is winding down and as usual, I've gotten behind on blogging.  Since last we met, I've been to Texas for a Hoe Down and a visit with Pops and the siblings.  Always nice to see family.  Spent a few days at the lakehouse enjoying the mild weather.






The lovely Cossette

Also got to catch up with my old friends some of whom I started school with and have know all my life.  Even squeezed in a visit to Beaumont to see Kellye & David, and my ex secretary Cossette.










Since our return lots of stuff has been happening.  Went to the Roller Derby for the first time - a blast.  Got our first snow on October 28th and then the stuff just kept falling.  Getting close to record amounts for November at about 36 inches.  Moose hunted. Enjoyed the great outdoors with two cabin camping trips.  The first was to Bald Lake the week before Thanksgiving.  Braved 80 mph winds to hike the short distance to the cabin and then lay awake listening to the roar as the wind increased!  Our second trip was to Byers Lake just after Thanksgiving.  Minus 15 but we stayed toasty warm.
