| Hello, Check out home page for pictures, I posted a new picture. This was completed the day after Clare's B-day celebration in GG park. |
| Pssst Santa, Rich wants... |
| Ho Ho Ho says santa. Nice try Corinne, but you neglected to get a single line from start to finish. You have two lines - one short from start to finish, and another endless loop going nowhere. TRY AGAIN. |

| Hello family. I posted the pictures. Check them out from the link on the home page. Click on the slow loading movie links too because the comments tell where we were and what we were feeling. Clare has a knack for narrative. Enjoy. Any luck with the puzzle Corinne? Santa thinks you might find it here. |

We see Mt Rushmore and Crazy horse monuments - Mr Rushmore KOA was happening place but we stayed in boring Custer - clare's favorite park was there. day 5 - Custer SD to Rapid City SD(crazy horse cavern, water park) day 6 - Rapid City to Yellowstone campground, with stop at Devils Tower WY, painted desert too?, dinner in Cody WY. Arrive at dusk Yellowstone - by luck(cancellation) we camp in park. day 7 - Yellowstone Middle(grand canyon, sleeping dragon), North(mammoth hot springs) day 8 - Yellowstone South(old faithful), grand tetons WY, Twin Falls ID(snake river canyon - think hotter at midnight than 9PM and evil kenevil) day 9 - twin falls - home I know we left Wednesday and returned Saturday which is really 10 days. I guess the missing day is probably driving, driving, driving. |

Fly bundle - pentop computer and charger 2. flypaper notebook 3. fly games pad 4. fly through spanish pocket translator Santa thinks you might find it here. |
| Pssst Santa, Sarah wants... |
| Since Sarah's birthday is next week, here is what she is into lately: Books - we are reading story book size books like the mouse and motorcycle and charlottes web. We do not like Encyclopedia Brown or Judy Blum. We do like Elizabeth Clary books like ramona the pest et al. Newberry winners always seem to be a good read too. Acrylic Paints - we need canvases/canvasboard and acrylic paints tubes the bigger the better since she likes to put it on thick(primary/secondary colors, and lots of white.) A how-to primer if it has a lot of excersises and is geared toward older children. Since Sarah and Clare are both getting skateboards for Christmas, they both need new knee, elbow and wrist pads. Sarah always loves puzzles too. We like the 500 piece size(100 too small, 1000 too big, 250 ok) Itunes gift cards for both Sarah and Clare. A nice assortment of colored pens with the fat tips that look like brushes. |

| We had a great thanksgiving. Everyone sure made it easy to host. We might try host again sometime. The Fly computer is a new favorite of the girls. For Christmas I would like a C/G concertina. Yes, I know the rule about noisy toys, but still... It can be new or old any color as long as it has all its keys. The best place to find them is ebay 20 or 30 keys is ok too. Do not pay more than $90! Santa thinks you might find it here. |

| *I have a necklace that belonged to grandma and the clasp broke years ago, I wanted to get a new clasp put on. *I would also like to request that mum make me her gingerbread cookies this year. Maybe only a half batch, I love them so much! *Bake ware. Let's see. Perhaps a rubber spatula for scraping the bowl. Cookie cutters. Set of metal measuring cups. The second silver palate cookbook. not the "Good Times" one, the other one that is white. Anything else that you think might be good for a bakeware collection. Thank You : ) |
