Merry Christmas to all!!!! Here is our tree. The kids decorated themselves well Denny helped with the high ones and the star.

Devon, Charlene, and Maria stoped in for a visit last night. There must be something about the house that makes kids want to run around and round, because that is what my kids do and that is exactly what Maria did last night as well with Olivia right behind her to make sure she didn't fall or get hurt. Then Dev and Charlene went up to Den and Penny's for dinner and Maria stayed to play. We colored and played with Will's Disney Cars cars on a little race track that he has. It was a lot of fun for Olivia and Will and Maria too they ran around til they left. I bet she slept really good last night, I know Olivia and Will did they like their little cousin. It was hard work getting these pictures too, she doesn't stay still long. They wore me out just watching them if only I had a quarter of their energy that would be awesome.

We were on out way up to Denny's grandfather's funeral up in Williamsport on Friday and this is what we found along the way. It was laying along Interstate 80 just up from the 123 on ramp. The first picture is of the dead one obviously and the other picture is of its cub hiding in the woods waiting for its mother to come back and not knowing why she isn't. In the process of trying to get its picture we chased it away from the road and up over the hill. Denny then called the Clearfield state police and they got in contact with the game commission to take care of it. The police said that they sometimes give the meat away if there is nothing wrong with it. Just think it made it through bear season just to get hit along the road.

Sled riding fun at Timberwind!!!!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!! Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow!! Well my most favorite time of the year has arrived late fall into early winter weather. The more snow the better is what I think. I'm done trapping for the year, too cold for Will to be riding the 4 wheeler around checking traps at 8 in the morning, so done again for another year. Next year will be better I hope, I'll be able to trap longer because Will will be going to Kindergarden.

Well this year I haven't done real well, but the season isn't over yet. Total I have caught 2 raccoons, 2 skunks, 2 opossums, and 2 cats (didn't take pictures of the cats). I have caught the raccoons over at Dan's corn along with 1 opossum. The skunks: 1 over behind Jack Millers property and the other one between Lynnwoods and Kenny Felgers place also 1 opossum there as well. The cats were where the skunks were 1 in each place. For those of you wondering if I shot the cats or let them go I let them go and let me tell you it wasn't easy either.
