It has been a while since I have written. The last two weeks have been full. Two weeks ago we lost Jerry's Uncle Clete. He will be missed a great deal. So the week of his funeral we were coming and going and not really knowing which end was up. Jerry had to pick his sister up at the airport, she was flying in for the funeral. Needless to say she didn't like our artic weather we were having. She is from Virginia. Two days we had Jerry's family over in the evening for a meal and it was wonderful to sit around and catch up with everyone. Jerry's parents came up from Florida and are staying to help Aunt Cheryl in any way she needs. She is a very strong and wonderful lady. We love her bunches!!
The Monday after the funeral, Jerry again headed out. This time to Buffalo New York. He said the drive wasn't bad. He got home very early Friday morning. It was wonderful to have him back home. But the girls and I had some time alone which was also very nice. He thinks he is done traveling now until next January. Will see.
Saturday night we had Pete and Shirley over for a big pot of Homemade Beef and noodles. The beef was from a steer my brother Mark raised. I canned 25 quarts of stew meat. It makes the best beef and noodles. We also had a nice salad and then set around and talked some more. January 29th we are going to Kalamazoo to watch my nephew Tanner play basketball. We are all looking forward to that.
Today is catch up day! Went to church, had leftovers for lunch, took a small nap, one of Carmens friends stopped in and talked with us for a while, paid some bills and now waiting for Carmen to come home.
She won tickets for Skiing at Timberridge. She has never skied in her life! LOL So I can't wait to see the pictures and hear her stories. She is beginning to be quite the story teller like her dad.
