It is still BOO.  The house is very nice and warm.  ELECTRIC BILL????

 

Larry and Linda stopped by yesterday afternoon--brot a lovely Christmas arrangement made by  the J. Garden Club (Linda is a member--she absolutely loves flowers and plants etc. (so do their deer which are not dear).  They soon left --had many errands to do.

 

But Larry had an appt. in Medford this am at 9 and then will come to help his Dad work on the wood furnace.  E. thinks and is planning on getting inside some way so they can reach in to the inside of the door.  Larry will try--due to the fact that his arm is longer than his Dad's

 

Last evening--in the dark--here came Jorene carrying an absolutely HUGE Christmas basket  from Harry and David.  She carried it up the hill--very strong from working at Boise for many years.  This is absolutely the "hugest" basket of goodies I have ever seen.  I cannot lift it.  Elmer moved it onto the dining room table.  Oh, my goodness--so much stuff. 

 

It looks so cozy outside--boo.

 

Caedmon had better hurry.  L & L had two bottom teeth at 4 1/2 mo.  I didn't even know it until I hit them with a spoon--so just when did they arrive.  They had all of the front permanent teeth before the first grade--never went without teeth.  Of course they were "trained" at 17 mo. which no one believes.  They were so easy to train.  (Of course that is not the proper way--Oh, no they must wait until they want to be trained.)  And now they are 67.

 

Elmer dear is downstairs getting ready for Larry.  He brot the 220 heater in from the shop to try to warm it up down there while they are working. 

 

We are SO excited to hear more from Brian.   We are behind him that is for sure. 

 

Elmer just said the plug on the heater is different than the welder plug SO he cannot plug it in. 

 

Stir fry tonite--teriyaki chicken.

 

Larry has not arrived yet.

 

I might write more later.  gg
