Catching Up #1 (November & December 2015)

The end of 2015 was not only busy with Holiday stuff. We also had a lot of weather, and both Susan and I ended up doing something about health issues (we are both fine and no biggies at least for now). My biggest news on that front is that I now have hearing aids!!!! And those are making a very nice difference for me as I can now hear conversations around the table and from across the room. There are still a few of my very soft spoken friends that I struggle to hear -- but I can now at least hear them!

November brought us a couple of windstorms and one in particular was huge!

Big power outages and many big trees blown down, debris was everywhere -- on the roads, in people's yards and on playgrounds.

 

This tree came precariously close to a house

 

Workmen had a lot of work

Not to be outdone, we had ice and fog visit us as well.

 

Fog on my neighborhood ride

 

Frost on our lawn

 

Fog at the curbside only -- and I stayed clear of it

Then came December! Still cold, foggy at times, but we had some sun too.

We still had icy creeks hanging on

And then we traveled to Leavenworth for the annual pre-Christmas family gathering.

We had a few more Holliday celebrations and gatherings that brought 2015 to a close.
