Happy New Year

It is the last day of December, the last day of 2006, and almost the end of the day... since I don't think that we will stay up that late I wanted to wish everyone Happy New Year... Remember that we are old? Today was a good day to make soup and read all day... so that is what I did! Any way have a happy new Year and drive carefully tonight!

Hubert

I just adopted Hubert. He is cute and if you click on the "more" you can feed him... but don't over feed him!

Our Casino Story

Larry surprised me by telling me to call and see if we could get a room at Grand Casino MilleLac. We got a room and went up on Wednesday. We took a nap... cuz we are old and that is what old people do! We are serious players! We had our player club cards and everything! We went down to the Casino and went to our favorite machines... Larry introduced me to the underground money which is like "whack" a mole sort of. I won some money there and went over to some other machines ... I ended up not winning any money and losing!Larry won some. We decided to go eat and then played some other machines. I played one with a community bonus... that was fun... Then we went up to the room, read and did crossword puzzles... remember we are old.
It is nice to go to the casino where we are some of the younger old people around! In the morning I wasn't going to play but then I got lured in... I played the underground game and then I played you bet your life. i won money there. Then we discovered the Deal or no deal game.... WOW I won 56 dollars after putting in 30... and Larry won on that machine too... I want to play that one again! I like going to casinos! It was fun!
I like Larry too. We have fun when we go places together!That is all that i know! Later...

Merry Christmas

This was one of the nicest Christmas' ever.. On Christmas eve we went to Jeff and Kirstin's house with Great Grandma, Jed,Larry, and Ron and Judy Larsen. It was a fun day and we stayed longer than we thought. The boys opened their presents (with a little help) and kept us entertained. The food was great and we grazed all day. Thanks Kirstin and Jeff... here is a picture of the boys
Christmas day was at our house. Nora was the only baby so she got all the attention... we love Matt, Amy Jed Katie and Joe... but really who can resist Nora. Helen and Pat and Cody were here too. So was great Grandma... It was a very nice christmas and I got some great presents... I love having grandbabies and all of my kids!
AND as if that wasn't enough I don't have to go to work this week!!
I have been working on putting new pictures on the website
Go see all the cute pictures of the babies! Here is one of Nora on Christmas day...
That is about all that I know!

Almost done

Today is the second to last day that we have to be in school... The kids are excited and so are the adults... Larry and I finished our shopping and some of our wrapping... well actually Larry did some wrapping. I did the gifts for people at work.
Joe and Katie leave today for Mankato... it is not nice on the roads... so I hope they drive carefully!
Joe left his jeep at our house for the holiday's. I gave him a ride home and got to see Nora who was a perfect little angel...she didn't cry once while I was there... justplayed and ate and burped. She has that reserved look like she knows something you don't...quite cute.
I got to see the boys for a little on Sunday. They were tired and need to sleep... Nana played with them and made them crabbier... the Nana went home and let Jeff and Kirstin get them to sleep...
Amy is supposed to bring me cookies... we will see... I like her chocolate chip cookies...
Tonight I am not going to do anything but read... maybe I will wrap a few presents but I don't know...
That is about all the news that I know... Have a Merry Christmas if I don't write before this... and watch for pictures on the website of Christmas... www.smenteks.com

Thursday again

I can't believe that it is almost Christmas. I haven't got any shopping done... no homemade little gifts for people... it doesn't even feel like Christmas because of the weather. Where is the snow!
I don't know what to get people... I am not even sure who I want to get gifts for! I can't wait to shop for the babies tho... that will be fun! I do have some ideas for some people. Larry will have to wait til after Christmas for his gift... I am making him buy his own!
We baby sat or visited Nora and Joe the other day. I got to hol Nora and put her to sleep. I really feel like I bonded with her now... she has the sweetest smile. I love her... joe is right... she is great!
I know this isn't much but I am going to bed. i am old!
