V*A*C*A*T*I*O*N

It's vacation time.....YEAH!! The weekend flew by and so did today! And, it's Monday! Monday's usually drag on...unless of course, they are part of a break--then they fly by.

The snow has been simply beautiful. Waking up to it the last couple of mornings has been a real treat. Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

I called Leslie today to see how to do concrete countertops. I am thinking that that is what I want. Kyle and I went into town on Saturday to take Kaylee home and we spent a couple of hours just browsing around Lowe's trying to get some idea of what we want for the kitchen. It is going to take some time to agree on ideas I can see that right away!

Vaccuumed today and did some bookwork. The rest of the day is being spent on the computer, just goofing around. Did I mention I love vacation?????

Back For A Replay....First Weekend Of December In Tacoma

Yesterday the Connell Eagles beat up on the Omak Pioneers 55-21. The day started out with snow falling....so beautiful! It was cold when we got up but managed to get to about 32 degrees by gametime (4:00 p.m. at Lampson Field in Kennewick). The Kamiakin Braves beat Capital in the game prior to ours. Go Braves! People came dressed in snow pants and heavy coats, lugging in blankets and hot chocolate. The stands were packed with lots of Connell fans. Omak had its share also, but I bet they were wishing they were back at home. Not to take anything away from Omak, they were a good football team, just not good enough to come close to Connell. The win makes for a repeat of last year in the Tacoma Dome next Saturday, at 10:0 a.m. (Cascade Cristian beat Meridian 21-0.) By the end of the game my feet were frozen! The wind stayed away, thank goodness. The drive home was slow due to the heavy fog....the temp a mere 18 degrees! LOVE WINTER!!!! Go Eagles!! Time for another State Championship!!! Go Eagles!

A Walk In The Winter Wonderland...

I took my camera outside in the fog and white this morning. It stayed foggy the whole day. Love webs that have frozen.

Had some company. All 3 of the cats followed me.

One Fall Day....

Paxton offered to let me get some photographs of her a couple of Sunday's ago...and I jumped at the opportunity. Here are a few of my favorites:

You are beautiful!

Football vs Chelan

Saturday at Moses Lake the Eagles beat the Chelan Goats. It was a repeat of last year, with the same results. Here are some pictures from the game:

It takes a lot of Goats to get Bryant down.
