I got a new van. It's much nicer than the last one. I fill guilty for liking it so much and being so happy to have it.

Deer Park Winterfest

Deer Park has a winter celebration called Winterfest. I'm not sure how many activities had to be cancelled becouse. . . this is last year
and this is this year. No snow. I know lots of games involved snow. Our scouts, however, got to do the flag ceremony. I don't have any pictures - didn't make it.

I did however walk down to Yokes for the Chili cookoff. We sampled the chili and voted for our favorite one. I didn't vote for this one but I had to put it on here.

I won't let you know if it is true to it's word!!!

Fun times

No, it's not a cop convention. They pulled someone over and arrested him in the parking lot across the street.

Streetball

Since I don't have a vehicle Charlie was nice enough to come and collect the boys stuff that they were taking on their Scout campout. It was a quiet evening with 4 boys gone. While waiting for everyone to show up they played a rousing game of street football.

OK maybe it wasn't quite so rousing.

Walking

It was a nice sunny day today and since I don't have a vehicle anymore Eric, Randy, Amanda and I took a walk down to the store. It's about a 1/2 mile from the house.

Randy on the railroad tracks. The younger kids were still in school with the HS on half-day becouse of finals. It was a nice little walk.
