Home all day

 It was a slow day.  Looked cold outside.  I sat in the brown recliner most of the day.  I made up our Christmas Letter.  Denny paid some bills.  

 Merry Christmas 2025,   We are very thankful to God, pretty healthy, and getting  older.  (Getting older is a praise when we have health and thankfulness.)  The “Grands” help make our year “Grand”,  though it seems we never get enough time to spend with family.    It’s a good thing Denny and I like each other, we’re  together pretty much 24/7.              johnson.dennisfaith@gmail.com

 We think it’s cold up north, but we are happy to be here ‘cause it is our turn to have our families for Christmas…  here …at the farm …together.  With all that is going on around the world, it is good to know the earth is not our home. We look forward to our family coming home… but even more we look expectantly to our heavenly homecoming.   

HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL THERE !!!!  

No entry fee, just acknowledge that  Jesus paid it all.

Heading home.

Up and hanging out in the breakfast area.  The roads were fine until when we were west of I35.  Uffda!! and now they are packed and snow covered. Denny has counted 13 cars in the ditches.  Listening to lots of good music!!!  We left about 11 and should get home before 4.  About a 4 hour drive 

 

Happy Birthday Torren and 53 Newhouses

Hope you had a great Day!!!  We are so proud of all your accomplishments and the Christian man you are becoming.  Keep up the good work.  

Jean and I went down to Nancy's to help her get on her boot.   Instead of a sisters' call we met in the breakfast area.  Mandy and Jason went out for a run.  Kids enjoyed the water park.  The food that Keith and Gail got was amazing.  Lots of it.  For the gift exchange Denny got 2 gift card for DQ,  I got solar lights for Brownsville deck.  Lots of nice visiting.  Denny and I napped from 4-5.  Cooks ordered Jimmy Johns and we went to the waterpark/ hot tub for a while.  I kinda have a cold and wasn't feeling 100%.  Mandy and Jason went to Diamond Jacks and we slept with the door open. 

Dubuque

 Cherokee hearing appointment.  Lisa J. is a visitor... talks a lot.  I visited several Rural Rambling shops while Denny met with her.  Denny had found the car/laptop plug in so I could zoom my bfs study as we drove across the state to Dubuque.  They laughed at me always being in the car. On the way there  Luke called to say roads were bad and they were turning around after sliding around a couple of times.  UFFDA!!!  A kind "Craig employee" canceled our room as we drove across the state.  Lord, guide the rest of our family as we travel.  Barb got to Dubuque from Grand Rapids, a 6-7 hour drive.  I sat with them for supper.  I may even learn the kids names.  (Jezzo, Toco, Tulandy Tandi)  There were 53 of us at Grand Harbor.  Our room is joined with Cooks.  They headed to casino while Denny and I slept and "watched" the boys with the door open between us.   

Bransons Left

I got up and made biscuits and gravy. We finished up the Mexican Train game. After the Bransons left we continued to chill. I went to study at Susan's and Dose garage sale.  While I was at Doses, Linda S said Larry has pancreatic cancer.  Prayers and love to them as they navigate these deep waters, 

Happy birthday BRUCE!!

We didn't eat breakfast because we were going out for lunch before a tour of Templeton .... UFDDA!! Well, we left about 11. The tour was registered for 1 am.. NOPE ... NO places to eat in Halbut...  No restaurants/cafes in Templeton. / finally we found an empty gas station with a cooler of sandwiches. We ate in the empty restaurant. The Templeton tour was interesting. We stopped at Manning and I got snowflakes that I put in the front living room window. At night we had Mexican and watched tv. Very Chill.  

OGT Cattleman's company

 I was up and headed into OGT.  Always nice people.  I came home to Denny, Brad and Joyce visiting in the sunroom.  We left about 4 for The Cattleman's inSac City.  They treated us to an amazing meal.  SO GOOD!!!  Who would have thought in Rural Iowa???  Honey from Bev H. for breakfast.  YUM!!!
