Dearest Erin,

I left a walmart bag on your front porch today.  It is a calendar and two puzzles for your mother or whomever wants them.  Please print the following truth in advertising disclaimer and give to the recipient of the puzzles.

There is one puzzle piece missing from each of these puzzles. Your challenge, should you accept i,t is to determine which puzzle piece is missing.

If you want, you can keep the calendar and give your mother a free calendar of your choice.

Goats in the yard...

And ducks on the pond.

This is Patsy's nanny, Hollie, born Christmas day.  She is really pretty.  Her mama is, I think, our prettiest nanny.

Here are all the December babies, except for Little Sis' billy.  

Here he is, off to the side.  The babies sorta hang together now, when they are not just following their Mamas.  In general, Big White and Patsy's and their babies hang together and all Bertha's and Little Sister's hang together.  They are just the cutest.

How many ducks do you count?  Hint, one less than a backer's [maybe that should be baker's] dozen.

Tomorrow is go home early day.

Dearest Sister Helen, phone home

I have your calendar. I like mine.  My pictures are beautiful, as always.  I need your WA address to send yours.  Send to adaymail if after 1 pm today.  Until then, you could send it to place of employ.

Beautiful day

Did not do much.  Greg hung a new coat  hanger in Hannah's room and hung the TV on the wall in Robert's room.  Then he cleaned Robert's room.  It looks much better.  Hannah does a really good job of cleaning her own room, but Robert not so much.

Tomorrow, back to work and back to school.  George won't know what to do with himself here all alone.  Maybe someone should call tomorrow and check on him.

So excited!!!

No rain, ice or snow in the forecast for the next 7 days.  Enjoy, enjoy.
