Heritage Day

Junior gets to pass through a primary school right-of-passage today by dressing up and living a day in the life of a pioneer school kid in 1800's Nebraska... he skipped the part of getting up at 5am to milk the cows and tend the chickens though, so I don't think it was entirely historically accurate ;)

His lunch pail contained a jelly sandwhich and a ripe apple... no Lunchables for him today!

Merry Christmas!

Brrrrrrrrr.... it's been one of the longest, coldest, deep snow-driftingnest winters I've seen. But we've got plenty of Christmas spirit this year. Except our's was delayed by a few days until Junior could come back home as he had spent the 25th at his Mom's relatives...


Yes, it's true... Junior received a genuine Red Rider BB gun from Santa (w/ eye protection included - Don't shoot your eye out!). Now none of the neighborhood cats will rest safe ;D
