LET IT SNOW!!!

Shoveling snow sure is good exercise. We had about 5 to 6 inches of snow overnight and it is snowing again. They say probably another inch or 2. I got up about 6:15 and used the snow blower. Milan had to work at 6:30. He helped shovel. We had a nice little drift up by our garage. When Milan pulled his car out he had a drift on the top of his squad. It looked like it was a pizza delivery car!

I have to go to Crystal Burkey's baby shower this afternoon and probably will shovel the snow that is falling when I get home. That is going to be my exercise for the day.

Hope everybody has a good weekend.

ADDENDUM

I forgot to tell you all about the neat Christmas gifts I used yesterday to help prepare our Sunday meal. My electric knife did a terrific job slicing the ham. I have never operated an electric knife before and we got along just fine! Also to lift my ham out of the pan I used a Pampered Chef meat fork. That also worked very well. Those to gifts sure made my job easier yesterday!

On a sad note I found out on Saturday morning that I had lost a class mate. He had taken his life in Canon Falls MN. He was a really nice guy who always had a smile on his face. I last saw him in 2006 at our 30th class reunion. So many unanswered questions . . . .

OFF TO THE MOVIE

Well I guess we are just like Lynne, and went to see Marley and Me this afternoon. Ashley and I have read the book. So we both agree that the book is better. Needless to say go and see the movie, read the book or both, you can't go wrong. Milan and Ashley both had off today so it was a great afternoon activity.

We started out watching the Dolphins and the Ravens play today but it was half time when we went to the movie. I don't know how the game turned out for sure. All I know is the Julie is a Raven's fan of course and Jason is a Dolphin's fan so it could have been interesting at their household.

I have to go to work tomorrow, back to 10 hour days. It will sure be nice getting back to normalcy at work again. Our books closed at the end of the day on the 26th so we were limited to what we could do at our desks, other than catch up stuff which I needed to do anyway.

I guess now I am going to go sit and read the paper and enjoy the of the day!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We hope the year 2009 brings good health and a safe new year to all of our friends and family.

Well here it is folks. My first blog posting. We had quite the eventful New Years Eve. We stayed home! That wasn't so bad either. Milan is working through the holiday day shift so he gets up fairly early. Me on the other hand gets to lounge all day and hopefully watch the Hawkeyes win. For all of you Iowa Staters, I promise I will not keep the blog yellow and black, I just had to be festive today.

We have had a very fine Christmas and hopefully entering into a very fine 2009. It was great seeing all of the families again. We had a new addition to each side of the family this year. Thanks for all of the gifts, but most important it was fun to all be together. We missed the loved ones who could not be with us to celebrate this year. As you all know, we have have a pretty neat event coming up in October so keep your calendars open. It will be a lot of fun. Julie's family is looking forward to meeting all of you. Just don't embarass me to much as I know I won't you!

So this is just a start. Hopefully I can add more and become more newsworthy as I go.

Also Lynne, I liked the looks of your new room.
