This was SUCH a crazy Christmas Day for us this year. We were pretty much snowed in! I can't remember a storm this bad--ever! And, it never let up, it just kept going and going all day. Wow, when the locals said the snow drifts pretty bad in Bothwell, they weren't kidding! Thank goodness we have the Duramax, it seems to get through it pretty good. Here are a couple of shots of what it looked like Christmas morning. Oh--I forgot, the power went out from 12:30pm until 6:30 that night. Luckily, we had most of the dinner already cooked, we just had to skip the last minute stuff like the green beans. We didn't have any way to cook them. We ate a nice luke-warm Prime Rib dinner. It was an adventure to say the least. Since we didn't have TV to watch, we worked on a puzzle for our entertainment. We had fun, nonetheleast.

Lewis & Cuervo


Here's a picture of Lewis (my dog) and Cuervo (mom's dog) having fun in the desert when we spent Christmas down in AZ last year. This year we are staying in Utah and having dinner here at our place, then going to the Homestead resort for a couple of days to snorkle in the Crater and X-country ski. All I had to mention was snorkle and Coby was in! Hopefully the water's as warm as the say it is! Jami & Bob are going with us.

Winter Wonderland in Utah




I took these this morning--it was snowing like crazy. It was actually kind of pretty. I like it when the ground is all white and clean.

I Broke My Wedding Ring




So, since Coby works 19 hours a day, I am in charge of all the chores, so the other night I was trudging through the snow, feeding the STARVING horses (at least they always think they are starving) and I was breaking ice in the steer pen. Well, we have one steer that is a little bit 'hooky', so I was trying to break the 6" of ice through the fence and the post I was using was kind of heavy and I dropped it on my hand and smashed it against the panel. Yes, it hurt, and yes it bruised. Coby had to get the pliers and unsmash it so we could wrench it off my finger. It broke the band away and broke the setting so a diamond fell out. We are very much hoping its not a sign where our marriage is headed in 2009!
