guess what?

Jason & Winter came to visit! They made extra time in their Christmas vacationing to come up and see our house/town. We showed them the bridge, took them shopping, attended a soccer game (Disasters: 6, Scrounges: 2), sang along with 'Spiderpig', and most importantly, sat around in our cozies eating chips, making fun of Cosmo, and playing Nintendo. To the surprise of only the boys, Winter and Kallie proved to be vastly superior at Playground Dodgeball than Josh and J.  Wowie-wowow, it was a fun 3 days! We made big plans for the future, including Thanksgiving in WA, becoming inexplicably wealthy, and general merriment. 

Also, chopping big cedar logs with a 30-yr old axe is not for sissies.
