The Word is...

On her blog Christine Kane declared a Resolution Revolution .
Rather than making resolutions ,like losing weight, exercising, etc, etc, that you've forgotten or given up on by March. She suggests you pick just a resolution "word" to improve your self.
I've chosen my word , well... I actually have two words . Sis and I decided to do two .She picked one and I picked one. Mine is APPRECIATE .Rather than think how someone or something can be improved I'm going to "TRY" to enjoy /appreciate the good in everyone and everything. Sis's word is FOCUS . We're both Type A's always thinking about whats next. We're going to" TRY" to live in the moment more.
What's your word?

Merry Christmas!

We had a great Christmas Eve all the kids (that live in town) came over. We had our traditional Taco's, refried beans,and guacamole, Cheese, Summer Sausage, Crackers, Candy and Cookies. We opened gifts, played charades and had a great time.
Here's some family pics of the festivities.
First picture, Cheri ,Will and Kristi, #2 Cheri holding up her quilt, #3 Jenna, Milisa, and the back of Cheri, Kristi and Will's heads #4 Mick and Kath and last one of the tree. The tree is called a Sugar Plum Tree it was decorated totally with candy and cookies.The kids loved it and I don't have to put any decorations away. Yea!
Hope you had a Merry Christmas too.

Let it Snow!

As though we have a choice, LOL. We got a ton Thursday and got more coming tonight. I really like snow as long as I don't have to drive in it. But now we're suppose to get bitter cold ,don't care for that so much.

The Lucky Duck

Brent sent me an email telling me on his way back from Iraq he was stranded in Seville Spain for a few days . What a lucky duck. Of all the places we lived our twenty years in the USAF Seville was my favorite. We spent two years there in the late sixties. The little brat sent me this picture of him touring Italica some Roman ruins near Seville. Just to flaunt his good luck. Hope someday to visit again myself. Click on photo for larger image.
