The wind picked up this afternoon and, at one point, was actually prettyscary. Large branches fell all around the house – one landed on the truck, one just outside the door, and another took out a gate. Needless to say the power has been out for several hours and we expect it will be for at least sevetal more. Thankfully we have the house running on the generator!
A friend called with tickets to the Springwater dinner and theater production at the grange. Now, Springwater is just across the highway from Colton and is very similar… Minus the post office, high school, middle school, and fire department. The play was about a group of nuns trying todolve a murder. When the lay opened with a local banjo player, I knew we were in for a treat!
Today was full of firsts:
First trip to West Virginia to see dad’s hometown
First time at Morgantown Brewing and tasting their awesome IPA beer cheese soup
First time seeing braille parking signs (????)
And, first time across the eastern continental divide!
Our boys are so cute…when they decide to play nice!
Left the house this morning and no snow… Came home tonight to over 6 inches!!! Not in the forecast!!
and Tucker loves to play!
Since we are no longer ‘active’, we found someone willing to help us recertifications. Now we’re good for two more years… Dillon even took part in the CPR action!
Tucker got several big toys from grandmas at Christmas and he LOVES them! Every night he’ll grab a toy, drag it up onto the couch and then lay his head down on top of it – too cute!
We haven’t seen too many critters on our animal cam, although we did catch a peak at an owl that hangs around the property. The camera just barely caught the owl landing on a fence just outside the view.
We headed out Thursday morning to try and avoid the bad weather. News channels reported lots of issues and snow all the way up to Oregon. Although we didn’t see much snow on our trip, there was plenty waiting for us at home…looks like Colton had a white christmas!
