Merry Christmas?????

While sitting around the kitchen table with Mark and Brenda, Bill and Betty enjoying some coffee with a wee bit of Irish cream and hot fudge sundae cake we heard that awful sound of screeechhh, thuddd...bammmmmm. Accident in our peaceful neighborhood on Cash Drive. As we went outside and saw many cars on the side of the road, one pushed into the trees across the road from our home, another sitting in Ronda's yard, and down the road in front of the Kolsto house a turned over truck. One person was pulled from the truck with cuts & undetermined injuries, his passenger got out and ran away while beer bottles rolled out from the vehicle. No other persons were involved, just parked cars of people visiting their families for the holidays. Brenda and I handed out water to the emergency team and TJ calmed neighbors.

So how was your Christmas??

Quiet Times

This time of year when most people are running around shopping, going to parties, traveling to see family and friends and decorating their homes and abodes, well we here at the Hill house kinda just sit back and move into a slower than normal pace. We don't celebrate the "traditional" way and this is definitely NOT a stressful time of year for us. We'll share a meal with M&B then who knows what else will fill the day. Go see a movie, watch a DVD, play some WII, or maybe take a walk, I dunno. But I do look forward to another year to gain some wisdom and also that the days are getting longer so I can "play" in the yard again. Don't get me wrong I LOVE winter, but here in NC they don't have a real winter. I love the snow and cold weather and miss it bunches. The best time of my life was when we lived on the island of Adak in the Aleutian chain. 11 months of snow and cold, and then there was August. There aren't to many places that snow on the 4th of July.

So to all that past through here.

Merry Christmas
