Merry Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve in New Hampshire.

Great Food

Great Company

Crafty People

Great Fun

Things are little slower up here, I think I can handle that.

These are ice candle holders made by my wife and my mother-in-law on the front walk up to the Surry house. I am the great position that I actually like my in-laws. How many men get to say that.

Merry Christmas Eve

Veteran's Day

I'm keeping this short today. After my little tour in the sand box, this is the first year that I qualify as a veteran on Veteran's Day. Something about that gives me more of kinship to the warriors that came before me. To all the Vets from WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Persian Gulf I, OIF, OEF and any other unmentioned foreign service; thank you. It has been an honor and a pleasure to follow in your footsteps and and serve along side you. If you are still over there, make it back safe.
