Merry Christmas from New Mexico
Haven't got the pictures yet, but I did want to get in the holiday greeting. The picture will have lots of snow, fried eggs and red chile (you can have that if you have been shoveling snow for days, right?) Bonnie our dog bounding over the snow banks, a snow covered outside Christmas tree, chile lights on the inside tree, an old sled pressed into service to haul in wood from the vanishing wood pile, and our chickens hunkered down in their cozy little chicken house. We even have good company as our neighbors are all snowbound too. Haven't heard of any of you caught in the airports....there's no place like home when the weather is threatening. There are SOME OF US bragging about shorts and flip flops, but we send our Holiday Greetings to all, wherever you may be. Love, Terry and Jennifer

Hi Jenny and Terry:
We tried to comment on the blog on Christsmas from Granny and Grandpa's. No luck. Too much snow at the Wades this year to get everyone there. Still a bunch of snow at the Sullivan Road Farm. Thanks to the Sullivan clan for plowing with there tractors.
Dad had his surgery yesterday and all went well. He had a much lesser procedure, a decompression of the spinal cord and a repair in two places of an abraised wall to the cord the same area. Thought by th surgeon was that he being 87 made the fusion at the lumbar area and two levels of surgery including the lower back area combined was maybe too big of a surgery. So no metal harware in the spine and he should get 60 to75% improvement in his walking. His pain, we'll have to see. The posibility of another surgery to do the lower back is also a wait and see situation. Anyway the surgery was les than 2 hours instead of 5 which they had originally predicted. He has been calling us all on the phone to tell us the good news that he feels better. He should be getting out of the UW Hosp. on Sunday or Monday and then off to Josephine Home in Stanwood by Foster's school in Stanwood. Ma will join him there for her own phyical therapy sessions and share his room in a couple of weeks. Dad has agreed to go there for a minimum of 30 days and his insurance will pay for him and mom's PT. He'll only have ma's room and board from his pocket to pay. This is a blessing for our minds that he has agreed. Another exciting note is that Josephine has a very nice and popular daycare, baby Oliver will start the in January when Amber returns to work part-time.
Glad to see you aren't frozeup in TP. We've had temp's in the single digit's, all our gutters a torn off and the deck has had damage from the weight of the snow. Foster says he is don with the snow and lost two of his best chickens to the weather.
The big picture is bright, Nik had his surgery and continues to sparkle, Candy and granny have had some fun at there slumber party while dad is in the hospital, Peter is working in a UPS truck instead of on a UPS bicycle and Kelli Smith has been enjoyng her new job.
Talk to you on the phone in a day or two.
Love Tindy
Wow, lots of stuff going on, we get your Weather reports here on the news and it looks like a lot of snow all over the Rocky Mountain areas, from WA, down to NM.
...and even in Greece....It's the same snow, Arthur
