I looked and saw that I have not written since Thanksgiving...It has been a busy Dec/Jan/Feb!  I am sad we haven't had any snow, but got to visit the snow a few times.  Amanda, David, and Pat and I are going snowshoeing this weekend.  Hopefully I will bring you pictures of this fun trip. We are going up to Mt Rainier.  At home, we've enjoyed a few weeks of sun, which brought us outside to play and work in the yard.  Now I have the bug and am working in the yard in the rain.  The guys, our employees, have been helping and together we will have a beautiful yard this summer.  My goal is to clean up what we have and cook with all my own herbs...maybe even my own tomatoes, carrots, and zucchini. I will get the rest from the farm and we will be all healthy campers...whether we like it or not!  Love you all...and be sure to check out Rachel's school concert in the video section. God Bless and Happy Spring!

We had a great Thanksgiving weekend... Thursday morning Pat and I enjoyed a cup of coffee in our hot tub as the morning woke up.  This is one of favorite morning rituals.  The air very cold and crisp but we are toasty warm.  We then enjoyed a breakfast feast with Tom, Lois, Kaelyn, Michelle, Kristen...Chris, Ellie, David, Michael, and family friend Becky.  Michael and Becky had just gotten done running the Turkey Trot in downtown Gig Harbor.  5K, I think? Maybe next year for this old lady-but I really think I will still prefer coffee in the hot tub with Pat!  We had a simple Turkey dinner later in the day with Chris and Mike.  I forgot cranberry sauce.  Nobody cared but me.  (I did make some for the left overs on Saturday!)  We were so content we skipped the pumpkin pie-saving it for Friday when the Teri's family and David would join us. 

Friday Teri, Jason, Amanda, and Rachel came over early to spend the day playing with Ellie.  Ellie loves her cousins coming over.  She talked about it for days.  Chris said she woke up during the night a few times asking if Rachel was here yet.  We had a ham ThanChrksgiving dinner, with the trimmings.  The best part being that everyone helped in cooking, setting up, eating, and....cleanup!  It was both relaxing and good eats!!  Finally, we had pumpkin pie-homemade from pumpkins Ellie picked at the farm.  I didn't have my camera out, so you will have to see it in your head.  Pumpkin from vine to pie!  It was delicious. 

Saturday was a relaxed Christmas shopping day for Pat and I.  We stayed away from the mall and hit fun places like the Harley shop and the Quality Sew and Vac.  Chris said this would be only half fun (where are his priorities?)  Mass Saturday night with our wonderful friends, then Sunday fun ahead...

Sunday brought more leftovers for breakfast and then off to Seattle to meet up with Teri's family to see a production of "White Christmas" at the 5th Avenue.  A huge place house in Seattle built in 1928.  Now we are ready to bring in Advent and prepare our hearts and rejoice once again that we are called to be God's children and celebrate the birth of His Son! Happy Advent!!

I was invited to join Teri and the girls at the circus Saturday morning.  I left Pat at home to polish his homily for the weekend.  Saturday evening was a wonderful experience of sharing my music with fellow christians to help call and lead God's people in our liturgy.  We enjoyed Pat's homily and Mass, then came home to a wonderful dinner of left overs and farm fresh veggies.  Today, Sunday, while Pat is at church I will be cooking salsa, making eggrolls, trying to pickly beets......And fit in a walk with Pat in the morning and ice cream in the afternoon.  We'll see how far I get-better start now! God Bless you all!

St Nicholas Choir at Diocese sing a long

You can't see me a lot, but you can hear me. I'm playing my clarinet along with most of our choir that assists with Mass on Saturday evenings.  It was our first time doing anything like this and we had a great time :)  Thank you to Mark, our leader, and you wonderful voices...and you too Bob on the base.  We are singing "Sheltered in the Arms of God" by Marty Haugen.
