happy new year to all

Hi everyone, I guess it is time to start a new year and send everyone a message, at least once a week. It is good to know everyone had a good Christmas and that you are off to a good start for the New Year. I did not make any resolutions so I don't have to worry about breaking them. I would like to make a few improvements as I go along, but I am not publishing any of them! We'll just see how things go as we go along.

I will be going to Bluff Monday afternoon, and staying until Saturday. I need to work on the sewing project and it isn't getting done too fast here. I then plan to go back the next week as well. That week-end is the Balloon festival. 18-20th. Dad is planning to take the mules down on Monday also, so he will be able to keep his chores done. I hope that some of the days will be warm enough that he can go for a ride. We plan to get enough more angle iron to brace up the fence posts that have rotted off. We did two last week and it will work really well.

We are going to Cortez on Saturday to get angle iron, have documents framed, visit wally world and eat out for my b-day. We thought RL could put the new radiant heater in the apartment this Saturday, but He can't do it until next week-end. I hope that this will fix the heating system in the apartment really good. It will also make it easy to add heat to the tack shed if we need to.

Well, Liz and I need to go put Martha Johnson's wood inside her trailer. She is on oxygen now and it is really hard for her to do it after work, when it is dark and cold, so we do it every other day or so. Also need to take our new RS book to Ruth and Jimi Jean. I'll check in on all of you later. Love Mom
