Christmas 2008

sarah lounging in her new Tonka dump truck!


Scarves I knit for Christmas gifts for family and friends.



Sarahs new smile! She has her daddys ski hat on!



Sarah playing with her new Camera. She took over 400 pictures before the batteries wore out. She took pictures of EVERYTHING!!! She was more interested in seeing what the view screen showed than the actual taking of the pictures. It only took her two pictures to figure out that she had to push the button on the front of the camera in order to have a picture. Reviews on this fisher-price camera were negative on the childs ability to use this camera. My God!! Sarah is only 27 months old and she used it for two days!!! Now to find her some rechargeable AAA batteries for this.

The ride home was horrible. We woke up to light snow then it turned to freezing rain. When we headed home at 10 a.m. its wasn't bad at all...just the roads weren't plowed or salted or sanded. We got to Newport and it was pouring!!! Temps were 35F. I am amazed at the drivers. If the big rigs are not going any faster then 45 MPH should tell you something! We saw one very serious accident in Bangor in the southbound part of the I. The further north we went the worse the roads got and the faster people wanted to go. I just took my time and stayed in line with the rest of the traffic and we got home without any problems. We had a car pass us and then up the road about 5 miles they were off the road. So called 911 and reported it. Told the dispatcher that they needed to get the plows out to salt and sand. Was told there is no money for it so just take my time. Love this state!!! Don't lay of the people in the office building, lay off the men and women out there in the plow trucks and let us worry about how we will get home safely. Love our governor...he is such a jerk!!!

Well heading to bed to rest. My back is sore and my ankle is swollen and it needs to be elevated for a while. Happy New Year Everyone!!!

KNIT ON!!
