It has been several weeks since I last updated this blog. You would think that with no children at home, no job to go to each day and no real responsibilities to speak of that I could keep up with one thing - the blog. Nope, the days go by so quickly and there is always something to keep us entertained. So, this is my yearly attempt to get things caught up to the present as we have had lots of experiences in November and December.Theron's Christmas lights are all aglow. He was able to set them up when the lawn was clear of snow and the weather was very nice and pleasant. I now stare out the window and see several inches of snow and the temperatures for the last three weeks have never been above freezing. It's beautiful, but it's cold.

I'll have to take a picture of the lights at night just to remember the effect. Theron does an excellent job of putting them to music. He has changed the house lights to LEDs and added two new songs. For those away for the holidays, we will post a video on youtube. (Ever wonder about our new language? What's a "youtube"? Why isn't it "youontv or youinavideo". Why is it a "tube"? I digress.)
On November 18, we gathered at the old house in Morgan where mom fixed a great turkey dinner for us all in celebration of dad's 83rd birthday. Both he and mom seem to be going strong in their 80s. There is some talk of them having to find a new place to live as the house and property has been sold. This is going to be a perplexing problem to solve. All of us children know it may have to be done, but none of us want to step forward and come up with a solution.
The Wayne and Deyon Spendlove family now consists of 8 original children (yes, we are all original - just look at Denzil.) Four spouses who are still in the picture. There are 19 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren. That's a healthy number and will only get larger as times goes on.
Happy Birthday Dad!
