Merry Christmas eve! We are still at Brad and Mallory's. They are having a great time in New Zealand. We haven't lost the cat Aspen yet, and the dog is getting a little less obnoxious. He is still needy, but does not have to his face in our face allll of the time. We have been having fun with Brett. Tom loaded a game Roblox on the computer for him and he loves it so much that we have had to limit his playing time to one hour, 3 times a day. He and I went to see Ferdindad at the movies last week and he also had a friend Nathan over one day. We stay busy but not overly so here. Trish and Scott from next door are coming over today for a Christmas drink. I walk almost every day with the dog. We are going over to Tammy's moms for brunch on the day after Christmas.

Cant escape the snow

Dec. 10 2017

Well, we couldn't go a winter without seeing snow and we got it here in  Va. A solid INCH yesterday!! Pretty, but I could stick with the fall type weather. Cash, Tom and I have walked almost daily since being here at Brads. That is the nice thing about dogs. They are always willing to walk. I like that. So far we haven't lost the cat, dog enjoys walks and Brett is so fun to be around. I miss him when he has to go to his Mom's. We went to the neighbors Trish and Scott yesterday for a very delicious dinner of ribs. Yumm, yum. Brett and I made some xmas cookies on Friday, with a bit of toms help. Brett was a great help decorating. Couldn't have done it without him. Otherwise, we have been pretty laid back since arriving here. Tom's cousin Steve Rykal came over from Richmond to watch the packer game with him on sunday. Cash and I went for a long walk and came home to cheer on the packers to a OT win.
