Had lunch today, with my friend from high school, Jan.... Can you believe 35 years! We were inseparable our whole sophmore year! Sorry the picture's so grainy.....telephone picture! Hope we keep in touch better, now.

We have been at home for a few weeks now and the last few days in an RV park in Granbury, Texas. Our accountant is here and Jimmy has spent the last 2 days with him. (yes...Saturday and Sunday!, can you believe it?) We have 3 corporations plus personal tax returns that we have to get done, because we are refinancing our house from 7.?% to 4.25% and they want the returns before they do it. Also, the accountant is leaving this week, to Kansas to testify at a trial, I think.Anyway, not much else going on.....getting a new roof on Jimmy's mother's house (now, the rent house) because of hail damage. Lots of things to take care of in the next few weeks, then most likely, we'll be taking off for parts unknown....probably New Mexico will be on the list......more later

We arrived to a sunshiney, clear blue sky and two days of 50 degrees.
What a difference a day makes!!!
We went to sleep on Wednesday night and woke up to all the trees looking like they had bee flocked! Apparently, a freezing fog came through and frosted all the trees....really pretty, BUT REALLY COLD! The last two days have been in the 20s in the day and down to 7 or 4 degrees, at night! BITTER COLD!
We finally gave in and invested in a pellet stove to have out on the deck. it's neat! 68,000 BTUs, so as long as we have the deck closed in...it warms it up pretty well!
The deer are getting pretty used to us, I guess, since they come and eat right outside the door.

After Christmas, we loaded up and drove to Denver to spend New Year's Eve with our friend Harvey (and his son's dog...Toby). Denver was Pretty and cold... I even saw a half full swimming pool, half full and a solid block of ice! We went out to some of Harvey's favorite places to eat, spent a few days then, when he had to go back to work at UPS on Sunday.....we took off driving South, to Ruidoso.
