Last Titan home game

Hi everyone,

Well, I finally got logged back in so I can now check in on all the goings on! I'll have to have Andrea show me how to include photos. Anyway as you saw from Janelle's posting, we had a wonderful gathering at her house for Thanksgiving. It's always great to get caught up with everyone.

I just returned from LA to help Lauren through the death of her little cat Cleo who had had health problems for the last couple of years. It's always so sad to lose a pet, as we all know. We buried her in the planter at Dad's/Dylan's house next to the remains of my childhood cat, Kitty Bo. Then to cheer Lauren up, we painted a couple of walls in her condo and bought her a new bed. I enjoyed spending some time with her even though it was for a sad event.

I am playing catch up this week since my trip down south with unexpected so I better get busy or there will be no presents under the tree!

Sofe's new boots

A couple of weekends ago, Gene took 3 grandgirls, Maddy (11), Kate (9), and Sofe (7) shopping for cowboy boots. They mentioned to us on Thanksgiving, that boots were on their wish list. Carole took this picture of Sofe, the next morning in her PJ's watching cartoons with her new boots on!

The Wood Wagon

It's not quite a tour bus, but Sonic Wood now has a trailer, aka "The Wood Wagon". It even matches my car! It's a 5 x 10' enclosed cargo trailer with a ramp and I'm soooooo excited! This weekend we're playing in Abilene (home of Dwight D. Eisenhower) on Friday night, then in Chapman (home of really big tornado 2 years ago, and our mandolin player), so the trailer will have it's first road trip. Sunday evening, I'm singing in the church Christmas program, no trailer needed. Busy weekend to be sure.

That's all for now, much love to ya'll.
