Hope every one had a very Merry Christmas! We finally received our mail Christmas Eve. I received Thank You letters from Brandon's class from when I went there at Thanksgiving time to talk to them about The Petrified Forest and The Grand Canyon. And we got all our Christmas cards from our friends and relatives. (Remember our mail box is 45 miles away so it takes someone going on a snowmobile to get it and bring it to all of us.) What a wonderful way to spend the evening reading!

Of course it has snowed most everyday for awhile and we have quite a build up now. Yesterday-Christmas Day-was very cold,windy and dropped another 6-8 inches of snow. We were quite warm and cozy in our apartments and enjoyed our Christmas dinner together with our other maintenance neighbors Mike, Trish, Brian & Tanya.

Maintenance work trucks on Dec. 17.

The same trucks on the morning of Dec. 26. The walkway was clean Christmas Day when we got up in the morning.
