A Special Anniversary

Life is good, January is awesome!! I've been having a great time just enjoying being at home. Lora is settling in well in Lenexa and seems to be doing good. Chuck has been building a handicap ramp at the duplex for Gary and Becky, who are going to move to Lora's side. Gary had a couple of blood clots in his lung and is in a wheel chair now, life can change quickly.

Amy and I have been working on Baby Tins and Wedding Tins and we are just about done!! I know she is probably as happy about that as I am.

I didn't have much to write today but, it would have been Homer and Anna Mary's anniversary, so this is to remember them!! They were married on a very cold January day as Homer was home on leave and only had a couple of days. He was in the Navy and it was World War II, 1945 to be exact. Unfortunately he wasn't old enough to get married and had to have his dad's permission (he was old enough to fight for his country). They had a happy life and we certainly look forward to seeing them again someday.

Company Came

We had a fun day today!! One of our best and sweetest customers from near Davenport, Iowa came for a visit. Heather and her husband Brian bring their 11 year old son to race a midget at Tulsa at the Expo Center this time each year. We had a good time discussing ornament ideas, shows and just about everything. Had lunch at Chatters and Amy was able to work us in to her busy 9:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Thursday schedule!! The really fun part was meeting Bailie, their sweet little monkey!!! Chuck put his hand out to her and she took it, put it to her mouth and kissed it!! Then she put it up to her cheek and hugged it. She is almost 3 years old and they have had her since she was 13 days old. They said she fit in their hand then. When I took her picture, she smiled for me, I know a lot of 3 year old kids who won't do that!! So, enjoy my Bailie pictures!!
