Nicole , Trina and Bill in Washington D.C. today finishing the 10K Jingle Bell Run (:>).

JINGLEBELL RUN IN WASHINGTON D.C.- Todays picture shows Nicole and Bill with their good friend Trina after finishing the 10K Jingle Bell Run in D.C. We are so proud of them !!! Nicole said it was fun as everyone had little jinglebells attached to them so as they all ran it gave a festive sound for most runners. Some runners lost their jingle bells and as other runners tried not slipping on them on the road , Nicole said that was tricky. She said one runner slipped on some ice and fell by them so that was too bad. But for the most part Nicole said it was great !! Nicole met Trina 9 years ago when they moved to the big city. Trina was Nicoles first boss and they became friends and have been best of friends ever since. Thanks Trina for being so good to Nicole and Bill all these years in the big city. (:>).
Photos taken by Andria who is another one of Nicoles big city buddies. Thanks again Andria for all you do for Nicole and Bill and us. You, Brad and Trina help us feel more comfortable with our little girl in the really big city (:>).
Hey Deb !! What’s for Lunch ? – Today is football day so Deb made a big batch of barbecued chicken wings. yummy !
BACK ON THE TREADMILL- Today Deb and I were up and back in the morning routine getting our 45 minute workout done so that felt good. It’s easy now with the cold and snow just to sit around and eat junk food. I did not run as far today but i did do the full 45 minute workout.
WALDON MEETS CUTTING TORCH – NOT !! The temps warmed up to 33 degrees so the roads were a sloppy mess and I saw the Gaylord City Snowplows went by throwing all that slush in the end of the driveways. So I just had to get the Waldon mini Loader out and scrape it down and get it cleaned up. I ended up doing mine, and two of the neighbors . I love that little Waldon toy , ha,ha. As I get more seat time , I am getting much more effcient moving snow with it. No plans now to torch it for the axles and engine and tranny. The second Waldon could still be on the list for the torch yet ? I’ll have to get it out and push a little snow with it and that will help me decide , ha,ha.
HITACHI EX-8000 One more week and it will be done and ready for sanding , filler , primer and paint.
CAT 797F MINING TRUCK- Next weekend I will be scaling up the drawings for the monster Cat 797F Haul Truck . That will be another fun project.
CHRISTIANS – We all have to face God (alone) on judgement day
Focus on God and not on man and you won’t be surprised . One hundred people have 100 different interpretaions of the very same sentence in the Bible . Don’t worry about pleasing everyone else , just please God and talk to him everyday all through the day . We don’t have to memorize the whole Bible to be a good Christian .
What would Jesus Do ?- If we live our lives asking ourselves , What Would Jesus Do? there is a very good chance we will make the right decisions.
MERRY CHRISTMAS OR HAPPY HOLIDAYS ?- What would Jesus do ? He would say MERRY CHRISTMAS (:>). and so am I !!
Deb and I and Nicole and Bill are very proud to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas this year.
Have a Great Sunday !!!
