The big news of the week is grandson Jacob left this morning on the USS Theodore Roosevelt for waters unknown to us. He'll be gone 6 to 9 months. To say as grandparents we are incredibly proud of him, would be an understatement. 💙 Jacob, you will be missed and in our thoughts and prayers daily! Love you! 💖

| This picture gets me every time 💖 One last hug before he left. Love the ship in the background. |
He was supposed to leave yesterday but because of some kind of a delay Russell, Lori and Allissa got one more day with him until he had to be on ship at 2300.

| USS Theodore Roosevelt..Aircraft Carrier! One huge ship! |
 |
| Russell had to register to get on base. They pulled up a photo of him from when he was in the Marine Corps. He was 18 and he's 45 now..Yes, they took a new picture. He looks like such a baby here 💙 |
When we went to bed last night it was snowing. We didn't really expect much but woke to at least 6 inches with snow drifts at 12..Cold!
 |
| The stock tank really got a lot considering there was no water in it at all! |
 |
| Since we only get snow a few times a year, we do enjoy it! |
new circular saw though. LOL.
We've had a fire in the wood stove all day, so it's nice and toasty here! Looks like a trip to Home Depot soon and more flooring. I'm loving it!
 |
| We bought 5 boxes to start, which should do the kitchen. Goodbye ugly floor that I've hated for almost 5 years. It was supposed to be squares and ended up being diamonds. Ken told me from the beginning to get a new floor, but since we paid a pretty penny for it, thought it might grow on me. It didn't! LOL. Living room next! Right now it's 23 with a feels like 18, thinking this snow will be around a bit! LOL. |
