Meanwhile, back at the ranch... |
Matt, Jamie, Sam, Matteo, AJ, and David headed out at 7:30am on a quick trip to Manhattan, KS to take Sam back to Fort Riley. And they hit some of their favorite spots: I-70 Diner in Flagler, CO; Martinelli's Little Italy in Salina, KS; and finally coming to rest at the Marriott Four Points in Manhattan. Hot tubbing and swimming at the latter to complete the day. And the bar is open! And Matt got a chance to exercise his new status with Marriott.

Sorry, no pics today. Not sure why/how that happened. No earthshaking events, either. Matt and Sam did get some range time in. Matt made some great enchiladas and Lynn made a corn/chili soup, also quite good, from her new O'Keeffe cookbook. It was also her day to play with house plans. Still snow on the ground. The older males watched Midway, very good movie. Oh, wait, here's a photo obviously taken a while ago, but I used it today on the home page of the SLO Railroad Museum's website. And speaking of websites, January 1st is the day I go through and update the copyright notices for the new year on all the websites I do.

Reminded me of Lot's wife... |
More post-Christmas fun. Legos were a huge deal today. Lexi went to another tennis lesson for this week. While Matt and Jamie were at a CHP class, Tracy messed with plans. A puzzle got completed. And we all enjoyed Matt's carnitas tacos for dinner (except the couple kids that wanted cereal).

We got our first "heavy" snow of the season over night, 2-3 inches. So, first thing this morning was our first serious driveway shoveling of the year. As you might imagine, this was another post-Christmas day with much attention to playing with, building, or otherwise interacting with gifts from Christmas. This included the late arrival (today) of the battery carrying case as seen on Fox News; three of them, and we darn near filled all three.
Matteo's Lego piano. Very cool. |
Part of the piano already operable via bluetooth. |
