Missed an entry

On Saturday, November 28th, we came up to the cabin. Brooke, Nathan, Jared, Micah, Emma and Adana. There was a few inches of snow and it was fun to play in. Little did the Russell family know but they had lots of snow in their future.

Wed. Nov.12th

Mike and I drove up around 2 pm. There was snow under the trees and in the shade but it was a beautiful, bright, sunny day. The minute we reach the cabin it seems all our tension just melts away. After we unpacked the food and Sadie we just sat and read. I always start to doze. We watched a John Wayne movie "Fort Apache" and ate a little dinner. The Country Music Awards were on so we just read with them in the background. We put out food for the critters but they haven't discovered it yet.

Wednesday, November 6

I have come to the conclusion that the squirrels at the cabin are more intelligent than the majority of the American people.

Tuesday, November 4

We didn't go to the cabin today. We stayed home and VOTED! And, we prayed for America.

Nov. 2nd

This is one of the few Sundays we've spent at the cabin. It was our Stake Conference back in St. George. It was the end of Day-light-savings time so we got an extra hour of sleep. Of course, at the cabin, we usually get a few extra hours of sleep whenever we want it. We ate a big breakfast of bacon, eggs and pancakes and watched "Music and the Spoken Word". It poured rain, sleet and hail. There was lightening and thunder. It was wonderful.

Nov. 1 -- HAPPY NOVEMBER!

Mike and I drove up at 10:00 am. We haven't been here for 2 weeks and it has changed a lot. The last time we were here there were bright yellow and red leaves on the aspen trees. Now the only colors are dark green, dark brown and blue sky. It feels like deep deep fall. We put up some panels on the door downstairs but that was about all the work we did. For dinner we went to the Pinewoods Inn. We watched a DVD but it was so ridiculous and worthelss that I'm not even going give the name.

Fri. Oct. 17th

It was such a beautiful day. Not a cloud in the sky and a brisk autumn temperature. If you sat in the sun it was as warm as a blanket. We put critter food out for the chipmunks and birds and they enjoyed it all day long. We have one little chipmunk who has 1/2 a tail. It's fun to be able to identify him. We call him short tail. There are 3 chipmunks that came for all the food. When there are 2 they get a long just fine but 3 is a crowd and they chase each other all over the deck. Sadie finally realized she's a cat and sat at the window all day twitching her tail. I was afraid at one point she was going to jump through the window. The blue jays and other birds were back too. Mike worked in the garages most of the morning. He caulked where it needed to be caulked (?) I read and watched the animals. I think we made a mistake and took the ATVs to St. George about 2 weeks early. It would have been a perfect day for a long ride. This evening we supported Aunt Sue's and had dinner there. After dinner we went for a walk along some of the roads in Duck Creek Pines. We started and ended at Pinewood Inn. When we got home Mike and I had a billiard game. I didn't lose ;} Now we're watching "Dan In Real Life" We have to go home in the morning.
