So far this winter it has been very mild. We had a few colder days earlier but has been mild now. We do have lots of snow. Not as much as up north though.

To me its all downhill now. February is a short month even though its only three days shorter.

Back when we had a mortgage it made the first of march come quicker and payment due. Praise God no more mortgage.

Jodi & Andrew are enjoying Isla the new puppy. She is a handful. Training dogs is just like training a child.

Butch and Andrew haven't been able to get to the new land to do any work cause of all the snow. Pretty soon though and then the fun will start.

Kim is starting her inside garden plants. She gets so excited. She wants to know what we need for our garden. We are planning one since now Butch has time to tend to one. He is the garden man. That's where Kim got it from. This will be our third summer here and the second summer we had a in ground garden. Not doing that again. Will come up with a new idea.

Butch's job going very well. I am still thanking our God. Of course I thank Him all the time. Praise is good. He has so gotten use to his schedule that he doesn't even nap when he gets home. He is sometimes up at 2am waiting for the alarm to go off. He comes home around 1ish, we visit then he might go in the basement for an hour or so working on urns then we have dinner around 4 he showers and then anytime after that he will sleep in the chair or the bed.

My schedule is different. I love the new schedule. I usually stay up in the morning but by 5:30 6 I might lay on the couch for a bit. He calls every morning around 7:30. I love that too.

He has three weeks vacation this year. That's different for him. We don't have any plans yet. As long as we have Zoe we normally stick close to home. When Zoe goes to join Ali we will travel more.

I am waiting for spring but will not wish the time away. Zoe too wants to be outside more.

We are going to the Jeff Allen show on Friday. Jeff Allen is a comedian and since we know he travels sometimes with the Gaithers we knew its clean fun.

My God. Amazing. It will be wonderful waiting on Him to see what He has for us in 2020.
