happy snappy

Pa just left for a moutain bike ride with some buddies. It has been a while since he has ridden with them so he is happy. There is no snow but the trails will likely be slick. It was weird having a brown Christmas! but I love the mild weather and the fact that our lake is one huge skating rink. We had some friends out on Tuesday and most everyone skated all the way to the other side of the lake and touched the other shore. Kayle and Andy and another friend then proceeded to do that again in the dark. It is freaky skating on a lake in the dark. you can see nothing but blackness unless you happen to look up and see the stars. You can't even see your own feet! much less the person next to you. Tom and I are headed back to the cabin later today. Kayle and co. and Aaron and Bobbie will come for New Year's Eve. Sadly, Andy will be leaving on New Year's Day. It has been awesome having him here.
Well I should make a move. i have to pack for the cabin and exchange some clothes i got for Christmas.
Happy New Year!


Say to the daughter of Zion,
"See, your Saviour comes!
See his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him."
They will be called the Holy People,
the Redeemed of the Lord;
and you will be called Sought After, the City No Longer Deserted.
Isaiah 62:11-13.
