This is as the song goes is, "the most wonderful time of the year". Christmas was good, got to spend time with our family, both here in in Ogden and in Salt Lake. Clay and Donita, and Heather and Jason and their families were able to make it in town to spend the holiday and that was nice. Spent time on Christmas day with them as well as Craig, Tina and Karson at my mother's house.
Today we are all meeting up at Gorgosa, in Park City, for some fun on the tubing hill. Kay and I won't actually be tubing but we will be there to watch and take some videos. After tubing we are all going to dinner. Hope to have fun with all.
The weather has been pretty cold lately. In fact the mornings are cold with a hazy fog over the fields. Today the outside thermometer read 17 degrees. The water tub for the horses was frozen again, I think the heater is history and needs to be replaced. I found an old one in the garage on the farm. The 10 day forecast shows the highs to between 27 to 32 degrees and the lows to between 8 and 17 degrees. Looks like winter has set in for a while.
The nice thing about having cold weather here is that it forces me inside to work on some of the things that need to be completed. My priority project right now is to finish up the office room. I need to paint the inside of the closet and hang wire shelving. I also need to replace the closet doors and the office door with new 6 panel doors. So looks like I'll be busy through the new year.
Until next time, Grandpa Randy

Update, December 24, 2013
It's been quite a while since I last posted anything on my blog, and a lot has happened in my life since then. I won't make any attempt to do a catch up on everything here today, but I will be adding more information as time goes on.
The one thing I will mention at this time is that during my absent I became divorced from my wife of 40 years and was able to find someone very special to start a new life with. Her name is Kay and she has given me an entirely new outlook on life. Kay shares a love for a lot of the same things that I love to do, golfing, fishing, camping, outdoors, church, and she re-introduced me to the sport of bowling again. I have also gone into full retirement and I feel that I am adjusting well to it.
Today is Christmas Eve. It feels somewhat strange to know that I don't have to work today and hope that the time will pass by quickly in order for me to return home and start my holiday. Along with that it also feels great to know that the day after Christmas I don't have to get up and go back to work again. Don't get me wrong, I do miss most of the people I worked with, I just don't miss working.
I would like to wish a very "Merry Christmas" to all my friends and family during this holiday season. I hope that everyone is doing well.
Yours Truly, Grandpa Randy
