Millie and_Jordyn

Millie and Jordyn and I spent some time shopping at the mall. They took a break and sat on Abraham Lincoln's lap. Millie is also working at the Fort in Lincoln now. Stop in and say hi! You'll find her in the women's and men's clothing section. I'm often asked for an update on Millie. She is attending Southeast Community College and hopes to one day work in the medical field.

grain bin

Have the aliens landed south of Elmwood? No, just a new grain bin going up. If you haven't seen this take a few minutes and drive your kids by it. It is very cool! We love new construction, especially when it looks like a space ship! We'll have to watch the progress of this.

We still had enough snow this weekend for my neighbor, Stacy Poole, to build a snowman. This was one of the best snowmen around! I do like the blue tint. As soon as he started melting the blue faded though. Good job, Stacy!!
