Here's the fire boat we had to haul to Seattle. It was a white knuckle drive. Big load for little truck.....
Sorry I'm trying to down load pictures but its not wanting too. So We'll have to wait a minute.
I'm counting down the days. We are going to have 3 of our 4 kids home for Christmas. And their Families of course. That means our 5 grandkids will be together. We are So excited.
Monika and Ronny are Flying in Dec 16th. and staying until Jan 1st. We can't wait to see Kai and Little Jaiden. Little Jaiden will be turning a Year Old on Dec 20th. So we will be celebrating his birthday. He's come a LONG WAY. Weighing in at birth 1 lb 2 oz. and He's now toping the scales at..... 16 pounds. Can't wait to see him....
Jenny and Jappy are driving up /wednesday or Thursday? and will only be able to stay until Sunday :( Wish they could stay longer but we will take what we can get..
Bob and Cathy and lilo are flying in Dec 19th and staying until Dec 26.
We had Hope that Jared would be able to come home also, but he's not able to get the time off. He'll be missed.
BUT we will have our 5 grandkids together for the FIRST TIME...... Little Jay hasn't meant his Great Grandma or his Aunts and Uncles so it will be a Happy Reunion.
I've been Busy sewing and Hope to be done before they get here.
Life is GOOD!
Who needs to go to Alaska when you have deer in your back yard. We had two bucks. Young bucks at that.
We were able to spend Thanksgiving with Bob and Cathy. OUR plans were to stay home.... But Ron needed to take the Fire boat over to Seattle for some work. Darn.... I'll have to go too. We had a Great Time. Poor Cathy had to work Long Hours. But we did get in a few games of Hand and Foot. Which is Always fun to play.
Bob was Kind enough to take me around to the Sales on Black Friday. They call it black friday because its DARK when we start shopping.... 5 oclock. How crazy... and we weren't along. YES Ron went with complaining the WHOLE time. Until we Got to Cabela's. Then Bob and I were complaining. HOW MUCH LONGER!
So Many people.... it was crazy. Not sure it was worth the wait..... We did get some good buys.
Cathy got home early so we headed back to JoAnn's. I took a cutting number, it was 53 and they were on 75 So yes a long wait. But we killed time looking at scrap booking supplies. Getting our list make for Tomorrow. It went on sale then. YES we went back....
Saturday we were up early and waiting in line at JoAnn's . Course we had to hit a few more stores before heading home.
Then we spent the rest of the afternoon scrapbooking, card making, and Card playing.
At 5 we went and show the new James Bond Movie...... Which was Full of action... but I was lost thru most of it. I'll have to see it again....
Then of course it was time to eat. We went to THE ROCK.... Pizza.. way to much food....
Ron and I headed home at 6 in the morning Wanted to beat the traffic.. and we did. Nice drive and made good time getting home at 11 30.. Only 5 and half hours .. Going.. It took 8 and half hours. No delays or stop and go .
Its always nice to get away.... But it was nice coming home!
I had lots of help in the kitchen. I did the bread and pies, Ron gravy Bob potatoes and corn. Cathy...... she ate.

Today they honor Ron for 30 years of service. Really it's been 33 and half years. But Who's counting.... Not me....
I Can't believe its been that long. At times it seems longer... and others, Not so long.
It's been a Big part of our lives together. We have been married 34 and half years. So Only one year not with the fire department. And to think Ron wants to retirer in 2 years... or less.
They had a nice luncheon, with Cold cuts, shimp, chicken wings , BBQ of course, meat balls, veggie tray's, and Chocolate cake for dessert. It was very nice.
Very proud of Ron, He's work very hard for the fire department. And has put up with My complaining about the Fire department and All The MEETINGS, he has to go too.!!! I find it hard to believe its been 33 and half years.....Not sure Where the time has gone. May their be a few more years....
The Fire department put on a luncheon to honor Ron and 5 others for their 20 plus years of service. Ron has 30 in with Kootenai County.

We had a wonderful time visiting with our daughter and family. LOVE spending time with the grandkids. We were able to play games, watch movies, and just enjoy them. Course just holding little Jay.....He's So CUTE...... We miss seeing him grow....Just in one Month we couldn't get over how much he had changed.
Our drive home was NOT fun. We woke to about 4 inches of snow...... so our drive was snow covered roads until we got to Missoula. From there, Blue sky, sun shine and DRY ROAD.....To bad it was the short part of our trip...
We Keep hoping to make a trip down to see Kai and Jaiden. Been over 5 months since we have seen them.... and Jaiden was Pretty little...So nice to have the internet so we can watch him grow.
It's looking like it won't be until January now for our trip to Texas.
It's turned cold here. The garden is done. Just need to clear it now. Still selling pumpkins. Only have about 30 left.... give or take a pumpkin.
Ron is getting ready for his Fire department Physical. Its to take place Saturday. It's a 7 min. course he has to run...pulling hoses, a dummy , stairs to go up..... I should go and take pictures of it....But Not sure Ron would like me doing that....

We 've had a busy week end. Just trying to get things done before the snow fly's. Our big thing was to get the wood pile burned. Poor timing as it rain friday night. All night too. So the wood pile was a little wet. We had covered most of it. So It just took a while for it to go away.
While watching it. Ron split wood. We'll stay warm this winter that's for sure.
As for me, I'm busy selling pumpkins. So far I've made $51.00. Not bad, and have about 30 more to go.
Ron had joined NIC weight lost group in May. His big weigh in was Saturday. He had lost 20 pounds. So proud of him... To celebrate we ate at Hudson's, and I made an apple pie. Share it with the Englands. That way we didn't eat the Whole pie. Plus had a nice visit with them. I taught Karla how to play hand and foot.... She's a Fast learner, and won the game. It was a great evening .
We leave tomorrow Monday for Boise. We'll be gone for 6 days. Our plans are to stop at the Jeppsen's to enjoy our Grandchildrens. So More later. Enjoy the week everyone.!
