Leek Family Christmas Party

On Dec. 20th, we went down to Scofield for the Leek Family Christmas party. We had alot of fun, ate alot of food, and it was 6 degrees!

Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin’ it back.

Patience

Pack Rat

I have decided, although I already knew it, .....I am a pack rat, I save everything. I am trying to get rid of some of my stuff, but find it very difficult. I always think I might need something someday. I am saving worn jeans so I can make a levi patch quilt, I save every scarp of fabric for my thimble quilt I am going to make someday, with a different piece of fabric for every thimble size piece. I am trying to make space but it's hard.

Fall

It's sooo pretty outside...the leaves are falling and the wind is blowing. This is my favorite time of year in Utah.

The kind man feeds his beast before sitting down to dinner. ~Hebrew Proverb

Winter

Oooohhhh...it's turning cold outside. Now I gotta worry about all the animals in the whole world being cold! I start feeding my chickens and pigeons and fixed feral cats extra food! I do love this time of year...my favorite...my birthday and Halloween. I hope everyone puts some extra thought into taking care of the animals outside. Staz got her elk this past weekend and we are already eating it ($185.00 to process it). This weekend we are off to Scofield to hunt again. Hopefully Staz will get her deer so we have plenty of meat in the freezer. We hardly every buy beef because we live off the wild meat all year. Oh, I got the best birthday presents this year...A diamond engagement ring to go with my wedding band from Chad and a really cool antique Sewing machine from my parents (thanks!). I can't wait to use my sewing machine!
