| Winter 2006 - 2007: It's
been a white winter so far. Actually the first snow came a few
days after Thanksgiving, with snow and rain on and off throughout
December. We did have a nice little snow storm a couple of days
before Christmas giving us a delightfully White Christmas.
We're enjoying a quiet winter. Becca spent much of December embroidering lots of Christmas presents for everybody.... towels, shirts, aprons. She worked with Connie on putting together a children's program for the morning Christmas Eve service at our local church. They had about 10 kids, ages 6 and under. It was great fun. Following the final rehearsal Becca and Connie threw a little party for the kids. Becca made a Christmas Train cake for the kids to enjoy. On New Year's Eve we had our traditional prime rib dinner at the Hunt's Lodge. Dave cooked a fabulous rib roast with all the trimmings. Jimmie provided the twice baked potatoes and dinner wines, Connie the vegetables, Becca the appetizers & assorted chocolates for dessert, and Ron provided the bubbly to start off the whole evening. It was definitely a group effort that created a wonderful meal. January and February passed in a bit of a blur. Our precious Phantom disappeared shortly after the new year. After weeks of searching for him, he was found. It appears he had been hit by a car and had been covered by snow along the side of the road. Now he rests back on the ranch. |

 Our orchard becomes a winter wonderland! |

 Becca embroidered a nativity shirt to wear for Christmas Eve. Unfortunately she ran out of time and had to go with only 1 wiseman. The other 2 will be added before next year! |
