Feb 5 2014 ~ It's getting cold again up here!!

Hi Everyone,

It's been a bit of a stressful week, my Dad was admitted to the hospital and had to get a Pacemaker.  He had the operation today, and when I talked to him tonight he was hoping to get out tomorrow.  But this will depend on what the doctor thinks.  So gratefully for everyone's thoughts and prayers getting us through this difficult time.

 We have been busy with regular after school and kid related activities.

The run off water is frozen again with our temperatures dropping again. And the kids have been out skating.

They have put out a weather alert to watch for us here...seems so weird because it's winter....but they are calling high fire  chances.....High winds as well....crazy!!!
