We're Home!

We are back home and back to reality. Everyone had a great time and a great Christmas in the mountains. Thanks mom and dad for helping to make it possible for us to all enjoy a vacation together. The white Christmas soon disappeared as we descended from the mountains, and headed back to Texas. We left at 6:00 am with a temp of 26 degrees and heavy snow and it was 70 and sunny when we arrived in Munday that afternoon. It is like stepping through a window from one world to another in just a few short miles. (I don't know why I am surprised. In North Texas we can go from shorts to snowing in less than 24 hours with ease!)

We skied on Wednesday after the fresh snow. I am grateful to those young whippersnappers who are adventurous and kept us "20 year olds"???? going. They were a joy to ski with. No broken bones or injuries and only a few colds and coughs, all in all, a great time. The kids got their wildlife 101 on the trip home and they actually seemed kind of excited about it. We saw many elk, deer, antelope, ground hogs, and even pheasant. Of course, once we were back to Texas, we saw plenty of skunks too. Thank goodness for electronics and TV's, but the good ole alphabet games still work just as well. Thanks to cell phones, you can "call a friend" when you are stumped to add a new twist.

Now the countdown begins. By this evening I should have a calendar posted so everyone can keep up with events leading to Mark's surgery day. (That is if my semi computer literate mind gets it together.) Thanks to all for your continued support and prayers.

Love to all, Missy.
