Winter has arrived!!!

There has been so much going on since the last post. Lee and I went to Montana for Thanksgiving with Clint,Tanya and Dane. Dane is such a cutie. He is crawling and Clint says that he has to keep a watch on the dogs water dish as Dane has discovered it!!! While we were there Lee and Clint went hunting and Lee got a nice doe. We now have meat for the winter and thanks to the help from Clint and Tanya we also have 20lbs of sausage. We had some the other day and it was wonderful. That means that we will have to go back next year and give it another try. We just missed the snow on our way home, thank goodness
I have been spending time in Portland with my Dad and Mom. Dad was diagnosed with melanoma of the nose in Nov. and had surgery to remove the tumor. He also had to have all his top teeth pulled last week for the radiation that they will start in Jan. He is a real trooper!!!
Today we are hunkered down, keeping the wood stove going as it was -3 degrees this morning. Lee is outside shoveling snow. It has been snowing lightly all morning maybe 3 inches on the ground now. We are suppose to get snow all day and several days this week also. I am suppose to drive back to Portland on Wednesday, but the mountain is a mess and Portland is suppose to get 3 to 6 inches of new snow on Wed. I am hoping that my dad can change his appt for Thur as I don't look forward to that drive!!!!
Porter is now saying DaDa much to Sam's delight!!! Sam and Shannon are expecting another baby in June and we are pretty excited. I can get used to this Nana and Grandpa stage of our lives!
That's all for now. I am going to post a couple of pics. Happy Holidays Everyone
