Tonight was a Christmas play (Arch Angel) at church. This is the first year I didn’t have any children in it. Don ran the spot lite and Helen helped me in the kitchen. We had an afterglow downstairs after with punch and cookies. Keith is working 10-6 so he didn’t go, he was just too tired.…

We got snow today, It’s nice out though, no wind. Kids didn’t have school today because of a special Christmas program the nuns had they needed the classrooms. It’s hard to believe Donny is in 6th grade and Helen is in 5th grade. They really like Christian school. Seems nice to just have 2 horses…
