Happy New Year!!! Welcome 2021 .............................. January First, Two Thousand Twenty One ******

 With 2020 being a huge challenge for EVERYONE, we are welcoming 2021 with open arms. 

Looking back, we all were extremely fortunate that no one in our family got COVID; which I think, is a blessing in itself.  We were most concerned about mom and dad.   With the vaccines here and the start of the vaccination process begins, I believe there is light at the end of the tunnel..

Today is January 22nd and we woke up to alot of snow this am.  It is actually about time.  The mountains have snow but we have gotten VERY LITTLE.  I believe we nearly have a foot. 

Here are some pictures for your enjoyment....A little from Christmas and our New Year in January.

December..........

 I started putting up my Christmas after Thanksgiving; needed to see the sparkle and listen to Christmas on Alexa :)

Many gorgeous pictures ....a little skiff of snow on some days but did not get enough even to make things white.  Mountains and Bachelor are getting it; which is good.  Bachelor have something like a 60" base and Hood and Santiam have snow as well. 

Dennis turned 71 December 3rd...We lost our sweet Lilly December 22nd; however we are thankful she just died in the garage rather than having to make a dreaded trip to the vet.  She was 13; which is 89 in human years.  Evie just disappeared in November.  We think she may have just went off and died somewhere.  She was well into her teens.  

Looking forward to 2021 and leaving 2020 far, far behind us...

Thanksgiving Day November 27, 2020

 Meagan arrived November 24th and stayed for two weeks.  We missed her. 

Thanksgiving Day was here with Meaggie, Devin, Brooks and Mason.  Turkey on the Traeger and simple.  Missed everyone else.
