12/25/2010 to 1/2/2011

Flew to Columbus, Ohio Christmas morning (and I do mean morning.... plane left at 5:26 a.m.).... was met by dad and my brother Jim who were sitting in massage chairs at baggage claim wearing Santa hats..... picture above shows Christmas morning gathering in my brother's kitchen... complete with "sausage and gravy"....

mom with her daily job of making sure the dogs and cats get their treats! while I was there she went through 3 boxes of milk bones and 3 bags of cat treats.... must have been their Christmas gifts....

my niece Hannah is raising three steer as part of her 4-H project.... they are living at a farm about 2 1/2 miles away and I had the pleasure of helping break the ice to give them fresh water, toss in some hay, and feed them...... I will not be a farmer....

This is a barn that is being built in my brother's backyard so that the animals can be closer.... I literally watched as it went up.... a group of Amish farmers were in charge..... above picture was taken on Monday....

this picture was taken on Wednesday! Emily is shopping for a horse as well....

I returned to Wilmington (HOME) on New Year's Eve and celebrated quietly at home .... it feels good to be back.... I have been on 16 airplanes in about 6 weeks and am ready to stay unpacked.... the weather here was in the 60s over the weekend and I was able to enjoy my beach walk again..


my fuzzy friends have both decided they like their "hotel"....

and now I am looking forward to a full week... yoga classes, buying a new recliner, getting to watch Dave coach a wrestling match, working at Airlie Gardens with the "dirty dozen", lunch with the Senior Ladies of Wilmington, and on Saturday basket weaving class #2 with the Witty Weaver......

I am loving this life!
