OLD PHOTOS



  

I LOOK THROUGH THESE OLD PHOTOS, AND I WONDER WHERE THE TIME GOES.  THEY JUST GROW UP SO FAST.  I BLINK MY EYES, AND I HAVE ONE ALREADY IN JUNIOR HIGH.  TIME IS FLYING RIGHT BY, AND MY KIDS ARE GROWING TO FAST.

SAYING GOOD BYE TO 2010

 I STARTED MY CHRISTMAS VACATION WITH ANOTHER EXTRADITION TO LOVINGTON, NEW MEXICO.  WE DECIDED TO DRIVE DOWN INSTEAD OF FLYING.  SO WE COULD WATCH THE MEXICO BOWL. IT WAS  WELL WORTH THE TRIP, AND OUR INMATE HANDLED HIMSELF RATHER WELL.

 WE HAD A GREAT CHRISTMAS WITH KIDS.  WE INVITED HOLLIE'S PARENT OVER TO THE HOUSE.

I WRAPPED AN EMPTY GUN BOX, AND I PUT BRAYDEN'S NAME ON IT, AND I PUT IT UNDER THE TREE. WHEN HE UNWRAPPED  THE BOX, HE THOUGHT HE WAS GETTING A NEW SHOTGUN, UNTIL HE OPENED THE BOX, AND I SAW NOTHING THERE.  LET JUST SAY, HE WAS A LITTLE UPSET. WE HAD TO TELL HIM TO LOOK IN THE CLOSET.  THEN HE SAW HIS GUN IN A GUN CASE.  HE WAS A EXCITED KID. HOLLIE DOESN'T LIKE THE PICTURE, BUT I THINK IT'S FUNNY, AND I'M GOING TO LEAVE IT IN.

CHRISTMAS NIGHT WE WENT TO SEE HOLLIE'S GRANDMA TO WISH HER A MERRY CHRISTMAS.  TWO DAY LATER, SHE PASSED AWAY.  SHE HAS BEEN ILL FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.  I THINK IT WAS A BLESSING, BUT WE STILL MISS HER A LOT.
