Brad and I made jerky from the deer I shot last month.

Wally helped too.
Cheryl made me a wonderful and delicious birthday cake. Two sets of parents, two cakes...works great for me! :)
Ruthie was in a Christmas play at church this Sunday. She played Mary.


An unplanned quote Mary (aka Ruthie) made on stage while looking pleadingly at Grandpa, "Grandpa, I have to go potty." I doubt that was in the script.
Isn't she a beautiful actress?
While the narrator was reading "and Mary pondered all these things in her heart," Ruthie looked down at her baby and caressed his head. So cute.
She took her role seriously.
