Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!




Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!


This year has been, for the most part, a nice one.  Kevin worked for TJader, and was home every night.  That was really nice.  He worked for them in the past.  

This past spring Kathy, a photographer friend of mine and I took a spring trip through the Bad Lands of South Dakota, by Devil’s Tower, in northeastern Wyoming, Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and through the Potholes of North Dakota as the last part of our wildlife photo trip.  

We saw so many amazing things…the first thing that amazed me was how stunning the Bad Lands are in the spring!  It bloomed in all directions…seeing baby animals, spring birds on their way back north…wild horses of North Dakota…was really moving…however, the birds we saw around the potholes could not be out done!  I have never seen anything like it!  I can’t remember the number of bird species we saw that day, however it must have been near a hundred…can’t wait to go back!

The photography business has picked up this past year.  I signed up for a lot of art and craft fairs…wow…that is a whole different kind of life style!  Kev and I were gone 1-3 weekends every month…sometimes it was just Saturday and sometimes two days.  Juggling the craft sales and photo sessions/weddings…at times was tricky.  Lol!  We learned a lot and had fun…I will do that again this summer.

This past month we said good bye to my dad’s last living sibling, my Aunt Sis (Gloria Quam).  It is strange to think of our generation as the “elders” now. Guess that means we better start sharing our knowledge with the younger ones…any that will listen.  Lol

We wish you all the very best that life can gift this season and throughout this coming year.  May you all be blessed with a wealth of health, love, peace, joy, many amazing memories and laughter…lots of laughter!
