Holiday Prep and Deer Hunting

I am excited about my Christmas trip. Waldo and I are flying to Portland, OR on Sat. to spend the holidays with Travis and Kerry and their families. Today I have my appt. with my rehab dr. I am trying to type up notes to take with so I don't forget things, and so I have time to think of words that really express what I want to say. I have to work at it awhile. Yesterday I had supper with all of my siblings over to my place. We had a real nice time, some good visiting and discussions. Ron was telling us about some of the conversations he had in the service with people who had no idea what Minn. weather is like. One guy didn't believe we could drive on the frozen lakes with cars. He said ice only froze about 1/4 inch thick and then the cold couldn't get to the water underneath. I wonder what that guy's ice cubes look like?? Ron showed him a picture of fish houses on the ice. The Calif. guy said they were just migrant worker shacks. Ron said you should have seen the guys face when he started to tell him about snow fences! Of course, Lyndaa brought presents for everyone. Shopping therapy she calls it. I told her that was fine, just hire someone to return the stuff later after the therapy has worked. she didn't like that idea. Roxy brought canned venison for everyone and rhubarb jelly. She was telling us that she was razing Crystal's husband about deer hunting. He didn't get one this year. Pregnant Crystal looked out the window, saw a big buck, stepped out on the deck and shot it.
