Hi everyone,
Sorry I haven't been in much lately.  Seems like there is always so very much to do.  I did 6 loads of wash over the weekend, plus gathered in supplies for the week's lunches and meals, etc.  Nick and I finished another great kid book...Sign of the Beaver.  I read some, he reads some.  Nick used to HATE reading...but now he loves it and can't wait to get to another chapter...and yet another BOOK!!!  I am so proud of him.  He also had his "Pyramid" project to do this past weekend.  He, Chester , and Connie worked on that and Chester took him into school today as the darn thing was too big to carry on the bus. 
Bill and Ben were at their dad's house this weekend, but somehow, their dirty clothes remained here...lol..!!  Bud was a tad under the weather yesterday, but seems to be better today.  I left him stay in bed yesterday and it made for a lot of extra back and forth, but guess it was worth it because he is doing better today.
Son, Phil, got a deer.....an 8 point.  That and Brandon's doe makes two deer coming on or about Friday......so...hope we can make enough room in all the freezers!! 
Allie is doing a bit better with her headache....Poot is doing better with his cold, too.
Kathy, I know just how Bill feels.  I don't have any health insurance, either.  And I don't even have a doctor outside of the heart doctor, who doesn't help with colds and such.  He just sees me every six months and renews my heart meds. 
Marsha, I wish you could hear Poot...Mommy go amboo...Mommy amboo..Mommy...just over and over...lol...and his eyes are big as saucers!!  I got him a set of little trucks from Sam's Club for Christmas...and of course, one of them is an "amboo"...That is a set of six for $21, and I got him a Dorie count book and a Dorie sleep shirt.  A couple other little things, and that will have to be his Christmas from me.  I am spending too much keeping food in all of them thru the week!!  That venison my son and grandson have coming will really help out around here!!!  I have the processing to pay for, but it will help out with meals, that's for sure.  Altogether Connie and I are feeding 10 people every day...and we also watch out for my long time friend, Roy, who doesn't have much of any money himself, and is too proud to ask for any help.  We always get bread at the bread store for him, and when we bake or cook, we always have an extra dish to take to him as well.
Congratulations to Andrew and Tanya.  Yes, it sure does sound like you are going to be busy with weddings during the first part of the year!  I'm so glad Kyle is doing well, too! 
Pat, that French Onion soup sure sounds like a winner!!  I have some onions called "Candy Sweets"...they are soooooo good, and so very mild!  Now that you have put this into my mind, I think I'll make some.  Of course, I won't get Bill or Nick to eat any...lol...but the rest of us sure will!  We, too have winter weather.  Everything is white out there...and they are calling for over a foot of snow by evening today.  Looking like we will get it this time, too.  I sent the kids off to school with boots on today for the first time.......guess it's finally here....!!!!  Oh, well, then might as well put on Christmas music and get some housework done. 
Have a great day......
Grammit
 
 
woops....posted this under the wrong thread.....sorry....
Pat, it sounds like that teacher has it out for Kyle!  A lot of people around here are doing home school.....but I'm not sure what the deal is in Canada.  It just didn't sound like Kyle was being THAT bad...why in the world suspend him for that??? 
Marsha, looks as tho you will be doing schoolwork with grandkids same as me this week...lol...welcome to my world! 
Sorry I posted in the wrong place...I was reading to get caught up and just posted before I even thought.....
