After spending Tuesday recovering from our skiing trip we awoke on Wednesday to 10 inches of new snow. We cancelled an early appointment to have the truck inspected and one to have Alesa's filling replaced, blew out the driveway and started to get back to a normal routine. On Thursday I awoke w

We had snow on Thursday night and school was delayed two hours so Jeff's family bagged school since they were going to be leaving early anyway. So we left for Erie about the same time and met just north of Harrisburg for lunch. We caravanned from there to Bob's house. I-80 was closed just West

We have been busy getting ready to head south, painting cabinets and replacing flooring. We will be getting new counter tops when we are in town long enough and Alesa decided the kitchen cabinets would look better if they were white so she has been busy painting. The gameroom floor was feeling

We spent a quiet New Year's Eve at home and I stayed up to watch the ball drop and then upstairs to kiss a sleeping Alesa a Happy New Year. We are planning to get new Zodiak countertops so we have been busy measuring and shopping. They will probably have to wait until spring since we will be le

Since we were enjoying a nice quiet week after Christmas, we decided to kick it up a notch by having the grandkids over for a few days and give the parents a rest. Since Mike was coming this way on business and Jeff was coming up for a bowling party, we had them drop the kids off on Tuesday aft

It has been awhile since the last post and we have been busy getting ready for the Holidays. Not many pictures but a recap of what we have been up to. We went to Bailey's on the 8th to celebrate his birthday and, on the 9th, Alesa went to Mike's for her annual Christmas trip into the city with

Bailey's birthday is on Wednesday so we had him with us for his birthday weekend. We picked him up Friday evening and it has been non-stop since. After a stop at Sam's club for ingredients for "Bailey's Awesome Soups" and snacks at their sample stations, we stopped at McDonald's for dinner. Ba

Nana will hit a magic age on the 15th so we filed for SS this morning on the internet. Something didn't match so we were notified to bring or mail her birth certificate to the office. It was close so we took it down. We had put her mother's maiden name on the application but they had her stepm
