Well it has been awhile since I have been in here to ramble. 

The Patriots did not make it to the superbowl this year. Better luck next year. Now it's race season. Starting tonight with the truck race at Daytona.

We have a new grandson. Joshua Nolan was born Nov 1st, 2012.   Waylon is a good big brother. 

2012 brought us a stray cat. Not sure where it is from or if it might have a home someplace. It is a beautiful big Maine coon cat. We first noticed it around October. I tried to trap it but it wouldn't go in the trap to eat. I feel so bad for it being outside in all the cold and snow we have had. Then, on Christmas day when we got back from Jeremy and Brianna's there was another cat. This one finally came to me after spending 2 weeks living under our back deck. To make a long story short, it is now ours. His name is Dexter {Lou picked out the name!}. The vet thinks he's about 18 months old which would put his birth somewhere around July 2011. He is such a good kitty. Our other cat Bear is "tolerating" him.

Lou and I are planning a trip to Texas to see Pam & Bob in March. It will be nice to get out of this cold weather. 

2012 also brought us more camping time because we got a pop-up. It's really nice and so much better than sleeping on the ground. We made quite a few camping trips and even went to a few state campgrounds. It's nice not having to pack up so much in the truck. We can leave a lot of it in the camper.

Lou had to have knee surgery done in the summer. He went thru it with flying colors but got very bored staying at home and not doing much. 

Well I think that pretty much catches up for now.
