"One of these things is not like the others...one of these things does not belong." This is me with my sister Ruth's first grade class from Longfellow Elementary in Hastings, Nebraska. I spent an hour with them, talking about Alaska, moose, mountains, glaciers, and the aurora.

No Christmas would be complete without a picture of the Kearney County Courthouse, in my hometown of Minden. Minden is "The Christmas City", and puts on the Christmas Pagent 3 times every winter on three sides of the courthouse lawn. Thousands upon thousands have attended over the years. I was a member of the cast for 6 years, from 7th through 12th grades.

I am now classified as a "Griddlin' Fool" thanks to one of my gifts.

Ruthie, my "big" sister, tries out her new candle snuffer.

Dad tries his best to score out a win a round during a spirited game of Cranium, while my sister Linda (bottom left), nephew Will, brother in law Andy, niece Katy, and sister Ruth look on. Cranium is a great game...buy it here.

 

More pics this way...
