Happy New Year!

Last night we enjoyed ringing in the new year with some of our dear friends, Troy and Jody, their children, and Uncle Harold and Aunt Marvis. Jody fixed a wonderful dinner for us, baked steak and mashed potatoes, salad, and rolls, and hot fudge brownie sunday. We enjoyed listening to Uncle Harold playing his guitar and singing. Thanks so much for such a great evening, and starting the new year in fellowship with friends!
Today we had a productive day of cleaning out the barn and paddock area. We also hauled hay from Dad's for the horses and goats. We were just finishing and enjoying the breezy, high 50's day, when a big gale came through, knocked the temperature to the 40's in a hurry, and brought some blowing rain with it. Shawn and I ran to take the horses from the pasture and put them back in their barn/paddock area. Showers all around after all that and the 6 of us smelling like a barn, then a late lunch. We are planning on sausage and sour crout for supper, yum!
A couple of weeks ago we got our new aquarium set up. It is a 55 gal tank with a nice stand. Tad gave it to us when he cleaned out his garage,and we bought 14 gold fish for it. We only have 5 left, so we are going to buy a few blue goldfish to put in it, soon. Maybe today, if we get any energy back from all the poo scooping we did!
Hoping everyone has a great 2011, and may we know of a closer walk with our Father and His Precious Son. Love, Dora

Thanks for leaving a comment on our blog. Funny how a new year can inspire us to do better with some things. Sounds like you had a nice New Year's Eve, too. I enjoyed looking at your pictures and reading your posts. You have a beautiful (handsome) family and sounds like you have a busy, wonderful life. :)
