Gram said I could use this one even though I obviously didn't take it. John and I on Friday and Saturday going big game hunting. John managed one squirrel and I scared a bunch of blackbirds out of a tree. Much fun and relaxation at the Trew farm.

A special Christmas breakfast thanks to Kara, John, and Elaine. Church, then family time with lots of great gifts. Even Nate got into the act. Wish the Trew crew could have joined us. Love to all our family on a blessed day.
