Jon came home for Christmas break from SPU. Adam and Pam showed up late Friday night the 23rd.
So Adam and I have this idea to make Lorelei a hanging pot rack for the kitchen. Just like many of our other great ideas, it turned out to be more interesting than expected. We did some internet research and looked at some designs. We had a branch or two laying around so we stripped the bark and started sanding. The interesting part came in when trying to find the right hooks for the pots. Lowes had no black hooks that would work! So we wound up sanding (Pam did most of the sanding on the hooks!) and painting the hooks. It was fun figuring out how to get the holes straight on a round, uneven branch. We spent most of the day down in the shop working on it and Lorelei was quite beside herself wondering what in the heck we were doing!

Cody got the felt hat he had been wanting.

Lorelei got a pretty bracelet from her sister Penny.
I got a very nice rain jacket!

So we had a great weekend. We celebrated Adam's birthday also which we missed the week before because he was out of town. Adam and Pam cooked up some yummy chicken dishes. We tried out our new coffee making machines. It was a great weekend.
In other news around the place, it has been the driest December on record here in the Northwest. Queenie is doing better and she has more energy. Lorelei is getting over her 3rd cold of the season, so it seems she has been sick most of the time. Cody went to the doctor for a physical to play basketball and they heard a heart murmur. The doctor (who wasn't our usual doctor) wanted to send him to OHSU for testing. We are going to take him next week to our usual doctor for a second opinion. So keep Cody in your prayers please.
That's all for now,
Glynn Jr.
