Good Morning to Everyone.
Andrea, Love the stocking. Anna hope it warms up for you. We are in the low 30 here. While we were gone it snowed 2 inches. That really bites that I would miss the snow. Oh well I got to be with my granddaughter and family all weekend. that was a trade off. I'll try and get some pictures soon.

Andrea,
I love that a sent a copy of your picture to Amanda as an idea to make for Addy out of one of her daddy's uniforms. What did you use for the black cuff and the toe?

Hello everyone!!! Hope you all had a very Happy Thanksgiving. Ours was nice, quiet but very nice. I was very pleased - I was able to cook an entire Thanksgiving dinner in our little trailer. The 13 pound turkey j u s t fit in the oven!!!!! And we got to chat with all our chillins!!! Skyped with both sons and granddaughters so that was extra special.
Chris will be leaving soon for his deployment. Please keep him in your prayers. And Jenn gets her thyroid radioactive treatment this Friday. She has to be quarantined for three days - can't even be around her kitties!!!! Good thing she has a guest room now!!!!
Still cold as all get out here. Had frozen water pipes Friday morning - thank you for waiting until after Thanksgiving. Luckily we got it thawed out with my hair dryer!!! Keeping a faucet dripping at night so it doesn't happen again!!! One more week!!!! Andrea - is it warm down there ??????
