Its the last of February and where has the time gone? It's time for a little replay of our life since October 2010. Much has happened. I better write about it before it is gone!
As the year came to a close, Garth and I decided that we were really up to a couple of LONG road trips. You must know that is traditional for our family. Thanksgiving was anly a couple of weeks away, we watched the weather for snow in the mid-west, and headed out to Indiana about the 2nd week of November. We stayed with Leslie and Steve for a couple of days and had fun with the grandkids, then on to Mom's in Ohio for another couple of days A day in Amish country was on the schedulse while there. We left on a saturday and headed to Atlanta to visit with Kalenn & Dave. Fun to see them for a couple of days and then the long trip to Reece & Caitlins for

We visited a 103 year old trading post in the area. It was fillled with Native American items and other things. A bit of history mixed in with present day trade items. What a long trip.
