Well here we are sitting by the fireplace trying to stay warm. It's a chilly 5 degrees outside, and to think winter started months ago. We've had some snow but no major blizzards; it's just been plain-out cold. Already looking forward to heading to Florida at the end of February. Hope it's warmer down there than it's been showing on the satellite lately!

Meanwhile Mountainman's been busy in the shop and on the road. Just before Christmas he did three huge murals on a bus in Harrisburg, Va. We've been getting a lot of calls and email concerning shop and rally work.

We still have our daughter Michelle, her husband, Jason and granddaughter, Kaylee staying with us. Michelle only has next semester and will graduate in May with her nursing degree. Jason is staying busy in the timber business. Kaylee will be 9 months on March 9th, and that takes up most of his time. He has really enjoyed being able to spend so much time with her. It's going to be hard for him leaving her behind when we head out in February. Michael's working at a ski resort, freezing his behind off, but enjoying all the girls he gets to meet.

Hope all is well with everyone, see you soon and God bless,

Mountainman and Shirley
