Yes, we are still alive...

This really needs an up date...we started our journey to Texas a little earlier this year that previous years...Left home in time to be in WY for Thanksgiving....had a special time there...with little munchkins and their parents...

...Hannah busy at her office....quill pen and all!

.....one little cowboy!

....what fun...watching popcorn being made!

....and of course helping Mommy celebrate her birthday!

...Helen's 'cows' eating pumpkin~

...bundled up for school!

....hard to get Elliot to be still!

Some other little munchkins we saw along the way!

 Mountains we saw and traveled by...

Wild life refuge we visited...hundreds of migratory birds stop there on their way south...

...we are thinking of an 'upgrade'...kind of wondered about this one!  We were finally in Texas when we saw this one.
It took us 2 weeks to get to our place in the Valley....arriving mid-December....and the days have been full and special.  This month will see the start of many heading back home.   Every one's thoughts have sure been a lot  at 'home' with the weather most have had up there...hopefully things will change for all soon.  The winter here has been unusual, too.  Many days of much cooler temps then is 'average' for this area.  A little frost nothing that has been significantly damaging to crops and other vegetation....here is a picture of what one morning had for us...

....but we also have this!

I'll get these things posted and hope to add more soon!
