Merry Christmas...Happy New Year !!!






We had a great Christmas this year. All the kids were home. Bede Sr. is recovering nicely from his shoulder surgery. All is right at the Bolin household.



It's always great to have everyone home again. But I have to admit, I feel like I washed every dish and glass in the house at least 25 times each. I had forgotten how many dishes a family can go thru in a day.



Bede Jr. brought his new buddy, Rufus home as well. Rufus is a yellow lab that decided Bede Jr. should adopt him last month.



He was the center of attention all week. He loved the snow, unlike his owner, who cannot stand the cold Nebraska winters.



Bede Jr. and Rufus left this morning, Joanna did as well, and Andrew went to Snow Creek, in KS for a couple of days. So Bede and I went from having all the family at home to HOME ALONE.



It's cold, cold, cold here. Today there was a freezing fog, that left a layer of frost on everything. It's really beautiful, but I'd rather see in in a picture instead in my front yard. It's great as long as I can view it while I'm in my pj's and sitting in front of the fire place. We've had lots of snow and ice already. Much more than usual. So much for global warming... Bring it on, I say!



Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. We wish you all a very Happy New Year. A year in which you are blesssed with good health, lots of time with family, and the patience and wisdom to take one day at a time and savor it.
