New Puppy







We have a new addition to our family. Her name is Alabama Stanley- "Bama". We picked her up on Friday and have been hard at work ever since :). She is cute and VERY active! Our dog Scout doesn't know what to think.

Christmas Tree and COLD Weather!






It has been a cold December here in South Dakota. The last couple of days here we have had temperatures in the negative digits with blizzard like conditions. Those who are reading this down south- can you imagine?! People here in South Dakota would agree though- it is way too cold. Dennis and I are shut in our house trying to keep warm with prayers that this will pass soon.
Last weekend we made a trip to The Stanley Cabin in the Black Hills. Dennis and Dick searched for a Christmas tree the "old fashion" way and cut it down. It is 15 feet tall, fits perfectly in the cabin and is beautiful. Just like Clark's tree in "Christmas Vacation" minus the squirrel.
We hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas season. We miss and love you.
