Good Monday Morning to everyone!

What a tirering weekend. I don't think any of us wanted to wake up this morning. LOL! Hell, I might go back to bed after the kids leave for school. Not only did we do the Polar Express this weekend, but we went up to Virginia City on Sunday morning & played elves for Christmas On The Comstock. It's so rewarding to see the happiness on these kids faces... I love it!

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.

Happy cold Monday! That is cool that you get to enjoy making kids happy Donna. I make them happy by leaving them alone! Actually, I remember I had a blast this past Halloween when I volunteered for the Halloween party at my church. Great feeling.

Yes Donna it would be a tiring weekend to have done all that you did..... BUT the reward must truly outweigh the effort. After all there is no greater gift we can give than the gift of ourselves, aka our time and our love..... You truly fit that bill! Kudos to you and all people that do that for the kids..... We only get out of anything what we choose to put into it.... And it seems you give your all... Merry Christmas to a very good soul!

MY dad sent me this in an email today, Wish this is all it cost to work on vehicles now. And sorry for not being on in so long just been doing other things. Like looking for work still. And got some news from my AIrforce son, he just received orders for a permanent change of station, from Cheyenne, WY to Anchorage, AK.

I seem to recall temps getting to 30 during the day meant short pants weather and time for some outdoor football. Ah midwest winters!
