Happy pre Turkey day

We kicked off the holidays this weekend with the Javling Family in downtown Holland on Saturday night. Tammys cousin-Christina is here from Germany, so to help her experiece Traditional American Holiday cheer we headed to Downtown Holland. We started at the Brew pub, but soon the moved on to 84th East Pasta to enjoy $2 beers and 3$ Martini's .( yummy) Downtown Holland was all lit up with trees and and luminaries so had it not been 19 degrees we would have stolled the shops a bit more. (Believe it or not I can not shop in extreme colds!) Thank Tammy and Jeff for including us in your Family night! It was great fun! Fa La La!

Sunday afternoon the kids and there perspective others ( Rob and Chelsea) came over for pre Thanksgiving. After catching up the latest with Scott Mom and Dad ( Tom and Eve) , we played Apple to Apples for a bit and then enjoyed a great meal. Hard to beleive it will be December 1st . We ae looking forward to a short work week and Thanksgiving day at the Cottage with the Vandeburgs!

I know many of you will not agree with me but ....

THINK SNOW! -- DEC 1 STARTS THE YEAR RIDING SEASON!

Hunting season

Once again we headed north for the weekend to hunt for "trees". All the girls except for myself stayed home or had other plans. Scott, Dave, Austin , Shane, JJ , Jordan and Shasha headed out Saturday to get two more trailers of wood . ( Cameo to much of a wanderer to go along) . It was a beautiful day and by nightfall we had a lot of wood cut, split and stacked again.

The leaves are still falling and Saturday while Cameo played/dug in the sand I vacuumed them up with the mower. I've offically decided yard works sucks but I needed the exercise!

Saturday afternoon I headed into town to get some supplies and house bombs for Dave and Pam Swift. They have a serious yellow jacket problem at their cottage and we can not figure it out! We resorted to catching them with the shop vac!

We'll be up again in a few weeks for opening gun season. Some of the guys hunt, but Scott and I are planning on getting some projects done inside the house. We're actually looking forward to a weekend home for this weekend with the kids and friend from around home.
