Week 10 "A"

Dec. 16-20th, 2013

We have had a lot of snow!  Dd invited me out for a fun walk in what she calls "WINTERVILLE" and I piled on my Carhartt gear and off we went--with our dog, Sophie too!  We had a blast!!  Snowball fights and rolling around in the snow and getting snow in my ears, throat, and down my shirt!  I lost my walking stick to the dog--who ended up eating it up!  We ALL had a great time!  I'm looking forward to more snow!

We have been playing a month long game of LOTR RISK.  It has been a lot of fun! 

This is my black cricket!  He only lived a little past this picture.
