Hey, everyone…

I realize it has been a bit since I last posted anything but it seems I went on vacation in October and didn’t really end it. So let me catch up…

Hope your Halloween was scary and spooky and lots of fun.

On Veteran’s Day, did you honor our veterans for their service in all wars? Of course, we should remember this every day and not just one or two days a year. To you of you serving in our military, thank you for your service.

Did you overeat on Thanksgiving? We tried something different and went to Charlie Brown’s where we enjoyed a very delicious and filling dinner. No, we did not go shopping that day though I saw some of the horror stories on the news. I laid out plans and took care of my shopping and actually got some taken care of that weekend.

We enjoyed a busy Christmas with family and friends. The grandkids enjoyed their LEGOs and cookies. All in all, we had an enjoyable and fun holiday. Plus, we actually had snow falling at the same time that I watched White Christmas – a rare occurrence.

And now, it’s 2014 – half a month already gone and we’ve seen a polar vortex which made things downright frigid all over the United States. Have begun to get caught up but we all know we never really do. One thing out of the way and something else pops up to take its place.

There are a few surprises coming this year so keep an eye out here and on the Facebook page.

May everyone have a happy and safe new year…

Best Always,

Christy Poff and MC Scout

In Memory of…

          Vince Flynn             &          Tom Clancy

Two amazing authors who will be truly missed along with their awesome characters.

Rest in Peace, Gentlemen
