Matt's big 5th birthday in Kearney NE this year. A fine time was had by all. We got up to +3 degrees today and looking forward to -25 tonight with the wind chill. Had 4" of snow, but it came sidewards. The weather did not stop us from having a great party.

Weather Fun 12/29/10
By John Schmit
A quick trip to the mall Monday, only to find no parking available. Ooops, won't go there after Christmas again. There was lightning as snow covered the bus route today in less than four minutes. No chains on the bus and hope for the best. Got off work on time and had no problem getting home.

Birthdays 12/14/10
By Barbara Lawrence
I went downstairs to the birthday "sing-a-long" and it was really fun. The man, Roger, who leads the singing and plays a guitar, has big binders with MANY songs along with a list so we know what song to choose. Most of the songs people wanted played were, of course, from the 40's, 50's & 60's.

Home Christmas Lights 12/14/10

Cheryl, Barb and I went out on a drive to see the neighborhood Christmas lights in the Seattle area. We visited five areas and saw fantastic displays, especially at Candy Cane Lane and Olympic Manor. Block after block of wonderful decorations. We ended the night at Kerry Park on Queen Anne Hill, overlooking the Space Needle and downtown Seattle.

Christmas Lights Tour 12/06/10
By John Schmit
It was the perfect night (Sunday) for a ride. Cheryl and I had to go to downtown Seattle anyway, so why not take Mom and check out the Christmas lights there. Of course we didn't know about the Seahawks game getting over just as we arrived.
