CC is looking more like her old self every day. A slow start to the season, will put up the tree and decorate this weekend we hope. All we have up is the candle wreath the Dawsons sent up. Had a good birthday celebration for Mitch last week. Will stay pretty close to home these next few weeks, it is really cold this time of year so keeping all bundled up. We will spend some time with Gary's family after Christmas. Hope you all have a great season.
