Greetings. I am happy to report that since the last time I have blogged, we received 4-5 inches of snow. On Sunday night the temps. dipped to -18 degrees, but didn't stay bitter cold for long. When it gets that cold, we are especially grateful for our woodstove. When I arrived at the Christian school that cold Monday morning, the furnace wasn't working on our side of the building, so it was about 62 degrees in the classrooms. It really wasn't bad and once all 20 preschoolers arrived, their activity warmed everything right up. The furnace repair man came that day and all is well once again. Our children are doing well. Jonathan turned 7 on January 19th and we had a party at home for him. We invited 7 of his friends for the festivities. We played with rubber ducks in his wading pool in the basement. I had frozen several "iceburgs" in a silicone bundt pan for the ducks to navigate around. The children decorated snowman treat bags and we had cake, ice cream and presents. After that the children had some free time to play. Two sets of parents stayed for the party and it was fun to have them there. Jonathan fell asleep that night very quickly! Maria brought her roommate, Lindsay, home with her. She is a lovely girl, who grew up on an almond farm in central California. Last semester Maria had spent most of her time with her other roommate, Liz, who got married during their Christmas break. Liz and her husband still live in Bozeman at the married student housing at Montana State, while he finishes his degree. Maria still sees Liz from time to time, but I am so pleased she and Lindsay are doing a lot together, along with other students at the Bible college. Maria says there is a lot of snow in Bozeman, which is typical. We live in a chinook wind zone, so when it snows, it seems that warm chinook winds blow and melt everything fairly soon after. Bozeman has the best Montana has to offer with an abundance of natural beauty. Sadly, Bozeman is growing very rapidly and has very expensive real estate. Last week Maria modeled an alpaca sweater dress for Montana Sweater Company in Bozeman. They can be found at www.montanasweaterco.com if you are interested in seeing what an alpaca sweater dress looks like. The last time I checked her picture wasn't there yet, so I will keep trying. Better open the library doors, so our night time patrons can get in. Blessings to all of you. Denise
