Christmas and New Year's was great. We had alot of parties that we went to, and some we didn't (sorry, Sandra). I actually went to bed last night (New Year's Eve) at 9:45. I wasn't feeling well and Grace came down with a fever yesterday afternoon. It was a good thing we didn't go anywhere and spread our germs. Poor Curtis, though. He didn't get his New Year's kiss 'till this morning. Hannah was babysitting with her cousin and Grace fell asleep like me, so Curtis and Hallie were alone to ring in the new year. I hope they had fun.
My sister and her husband and son left yesterday. We had so much fun. We went to the movies (more about that to come) and went antique shopping in downtown Glendale. We picnicked at the park, and got together with family. I'll miss her. She lives too far (Hooper, UT)!!!
I was loving all the rain we were getting and took some pretty shots outside of our house of the White Tank Mountains. It smells so good here when it rains. I know it smells good almost everywhere when it rains. Unless, of course, you live next to a pig farm, like we used to. Gross!
But out here we are right next to the desert and the smell is incredible. I really love where we live. It's a quiet neighborhood, off the beaten path. This picture was taken from in front of our house looking west at the mountains. At the end of the street is a desert area that has a horse trail and watering station.
This is the view from the back yard. Hopefully our neighbor will never plant a tree that blocks our view. Right now we have a dirt area next to our porch, but eventually it will be brick and we will be able to sit out and enjoy it all.
But for now it's back to reality. We are taking down the village today. All the village people survived, surprisingly. "Le Tigre" wisely stayed away. Maybe it was the constant threat of "Time-Out" that deterred him. Main Street did get a few hot rod cars racing through, occasionally. All in all it was quiet, though.
Alot like our street.
