I realize now that I took all the photos from tonight’s Open House and Silent Auction with the library’s iPad. Which is great until I have no photos to post here from home! Whoops. Over 65 people attended the Open House with 117 items to bid on. For those of you with Facebook, I shared…
The Tree
After making candy for the library party most of the morning, Vernon and I took the time to go gather a Christmas tree, The snow was not too deep and we managed to drive around. Many of the trees had been abused by deer or elk causing quite a bit of damage, but then we…
Trail of Tears Walk
Victoria and I continue our virtual walk along the 1833 Trail of Tears. We are ranked 181 out of 800+ teams. Over two hundred teams have completed their journeys. We are 55% done, having walked 257 miles. We have reached Milestone 9, the most northern point of our walk through Arkansas. ”Chief Folsom and Chief…
Little Things
Our wreath is finished and it looks great, especially in low light. Tonight was the auction for the Festival of Trees and the wreath brought $625. We don’t receive that money but just a share of the pot, whatever they chose to give us. Tomorrow the display is open to the public and they vote…

I went in to the library to finish decorating for our Open House and Silent Auction next Monday. It’s a big and fun party and we try to do it up right. It does take a fair amount of work though! As I worked, my co-workers were busy creating a wreath to donate to the…
Birthday Girl
Well, the snow and cold arrived. Four inches of snow and a high of 17 degrees today. It’s currently -6 and there’s frost edging the corners of my windows. The guys continue on the pipeline and hauling hay. We held Reagan’s birthday party. Unbelievably, she turned eight yesterday! Megan’s birthday was also yesterday, but without…
For Now
There’s a storm coming. I took a bit of time to put up a few Christmas decorations. I’m limited though, by these things. I can’t put out decorations that these curious critters can rub on or lick. They’ve ruined decorations before, but I took a chance on a simple wreath, hopefully out of sight on…
