BOW LESSONS

Diane and Linda came over this morning and Diane showed us how to make a nice bow out of the ribbon the Hunters left me.  I had explained to Diane that I had no idea how to make a decent bow and my previous attempt was less than perfect.  Linda came along for the lesson too.  Diane is very talented in so many areas and bow making was just one of her specialties.  We had so much fun!  Linda was going to use her for a fascinator for New Year's Eve.  I made one by myself that didn't look so bad and I added it to my original bow on my wreath outside so now it looks pretty good - with the Shirley Temple curly ends.  I still have one more to put on my mailbox down by the road along with some pine and cedar boughs.  Pictures later.

KINECT NITE ON CHENEY

The hunters brought up a 10 pound spiral sliced honey ham and they never got around to eating it.  I decided to have some friends over to enjoy it and have a fun nite of Kinect.  We finished eating at around 6:30 and everyone was full and started to slow down.  Rejean got the Kinect bowling game on and the fun started.  Only four can play at one time so the other two people were the rowdy crowd.  We took turns and had a great time.  We then got the Kinect dart game going and had even more fun as the game does the scoring for us - no one has to keep that nasty score.
It certainly kept us all from falling asleep after such a great meal (if I do say so myself)!!

THE BOYS BE HELPING

Even in Abu Dhabi they are putting up Christmas Trees and look who's right in there helping Dave and Jodie trim the tree.
Can't wait to see the results...

SO CREATIVE

My one and only outside Christmas decoration - I added the "bow" today.  Not quite the look I was going for - it looks funny festive.

STASH OF STICKS

I found this nice stash of sticks leaning against Rick's shed.  I think he may be hoarding sticks!!!
I have a pile going down by the garage...

SNOW AT LAST

It is late this year but we finally got some snow last nite and a bit today.  There is even some ice forming on the lake altho the temperatures haven't been really cold - yet.  The Blue Jays are circling looking for the food I haven't put out yet and I have seen some squirrel activity too.  But the best thing is that I saw some fox tracks on the driveway.  I have my fingers crossed but I don't think it's Poopsy who I haven't seen in months.  Sooo much goes on around here that you never even know of.

THIS ONE'S SAFE

Spotted this little guy wandering around our place the other day.
I just watched him for a little while and got some pictures - I have no idea where he is now.
But I didn't shoot him.
