Linda Turns the Big 4-0

Today is a milestone for Linda, she turned 40.  She is now a member of the exclusive 40-and-over Club and I am glad to have her as a member.

I was finally able to bring out the present I bought for her and had hiding inside the shed — a new bike.

Happy Birthday Lin!

Linda takes a peek at her gift in the family room.

Here comes Linda, with Keely cheering her on in her pajamas.

For dinner, it was off to the restaurant with the family and some friends.



Christmas Tree Excursion

Our caravan of four vehicles and 13 people made the trek to Hilltop Tree farm to get one christmas tree. The yearly tradition is hanging on by a thread — hopefully next year more than one tree will be harvested.

Both Keely and I took pictures around the house on Thanksgiving Day.  We put them together into a slideshow.

Henry and Keely enjoy a fire roasted marshmallow

With autumn knocking on the door, and cool evenings for the past couple days, we pulled out the fire pit, and started burning much of the scrap wood left over from the shed project.

Of course, with a fire you’ve got to have marshmallows. Macie and her mom Stacey walked over, so the girls — Linda and Keely — had a conversation partner.

Henry enjoyed getting close to the fire pit, feel the heat on his face, then turn and run.

I’m going to have to start cutting up some of the larger pieces of plywood, if we want to have another fire — most of the smaller 2×4’s are nothing but ash now.
