We have been busy here in Boise since we last saw you at Thanksgiving. Ten great thinks happened since and because of our trip to eastern Idaho

1. We got to spend time with each of you and the grandchildren.
   
2. Ken has new socks for two years.
   
3. The sticky buns I took to school were wonderful thanks to Emma and Rob.
   
4. We had a great time with Jeff and we were able to see him bless the sacrament for the the first time.
5. Shane, Christine & Izzy have moved into their own new apartment.


6. We set up our Nativity outside (I a sending a photo).


7. The Leonard's are moving to Washington and the announcement of a new baby girl.


8. My school union and the district have finally settled on a contract for this school year.


9. I have one more week of school before Christmas break!!!


10. I CAN MAKE BISCUITS. Thanks to Tate Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Sometimes I just make a batch in the evening for a snack. This is just a list of the highlights in the past month.

Ken is getting more comfortable at conducting the meetings at the retirement home. The old ladies love him and think he is wonderful.

We continue to lock up the church every night and now that it is getting colder, it is getting harder to leave the house at 10:00 p.m. to do it.

The dog, what can I say about them except they are on Santa's Naught List this year. We can't leave them for an hour without coming home to a home that has been through a DISASTER.

I have started working on a quilt. It is called Cathedral Windows, it is all done by hand so I can do it while I watch T.V. in my chair at night. I have put in a link if you want to see what this kind of quilt looks like. Or you can wait several years to see mine. http://hyena-in-petticoats.blogspot.com/2007/08/cathedral-window-quilt-tutorial.html

Grandpa and I have decided to try blogging. We will see how this works out. Don't expect too much, just want to be able to share our lives with you.

Wednesday 12-3-08 We are back to normal after our wonderful trip to eastern Idaho for Thanksgiving. Grandpa had to have a root canal today. He has had a tooth ache for 3 days. I am back to school after taking Monday off. This month we are locking up the church every night, Grandpa thinks it is a good service project. Tonight we are watching the nursery for the other ward in our building R.S., then they take care of our nursery. Monday we set up the outdoor nativity in the yard. We haven't had it up for a couple of years so it is new and exciting again.
