Too Much To Do

Wow, where did this whole year go? We haven't posted for a LONG time and now just don't know where to start. Way back in October we went to CABO. Those pictures are definitely on one of the photo cards sitting on my desk.


Thanksgiving with the California family was the BEST! We have pictures to post...somewhere! The food, family, and friends were so wonderful and makes us thankful for them all!


This last week-end we celebrated Shannon and Lyle's birthdays with a delicious Birthday Breakfast at Lyle & Karen's on Saturday. Errol made his famous cinnamon rolls (thanks Errol for getting up so early on a Saturday)! Lyle & Karen made delicious egg casseroles and waffles. Dave & Sue brought an awesome platter of fruit that I just couldn't quit eating.


There was one very funny incident. I had gotten a birthday candle that I brought to put on Errol's cinnamon rolls. So, we lit the candle (after 3 tries) and it started circling around and then the candles popped up and it played "Happy Birthday"! It was so much fun but then...


The smoke alarm went off! Lyle said he was glad to know that it actually works since it has never had occasion to go off before (really, Karen, don't you EVER burn toast???) Bryan very kindly took the candle outside to simmer and hours later Lyle went out and found it STILL playing Happy Birthday! Jessica kindly got a photo of the now very famous birthday candle. (Thank You for letting me borrow this photo, Jess)

Today Karen & I spent many hours with Mom. She had another eye surgery which she said was "just a 15 minute surgery with no down time" that turned out to keep us both with her until 6:00 PM at which time we left but are hoping she will be ok until we pick her up for her early morning post-op appointment tomorrow.

So, until life slows down long enough for me to get caught up to all the photo cards on my desk, we hope this lets you know that we're still here and enjoying life.

P.S. It's raining in Vegas today! Woohoo!
