Don is loving learning the construction trade. He is really good at it and loves working with Bill. Bill has even made him a very generous offer of a partnership in his business! So, Don is finally getting out of the casino racket and we are SO thrilled!

Bates and Lois' house is really coming along......they should be moving in in February. It is just gorgeous!

BUSTED!!!! When ever Cassidy is totally silent, we always find her ransacking my purse for mints.........candyaholic!

Cassidy meets and falls for our friend Dena's new grandson, Camden. Dena is the same age as Don so we get a laugh out of us having a two year old and she's a grandma.........gotta love life, eh???!!!! She and her husband Gordon are warm and wonderful and fun people. We love hanging with them! Her beautiful daughter, Alana, is the new mommy in the background.

20 lbs. of plums stewing and fermenting for a big batch of plum wine! It's the most beautiful salmon color.

Cassidy's cool Nonnie climbs in her fort/closet with her.

Cassidy poses as an angel for daddy's birthday.........

Princess Cassidy........she loves answering Lois and I with a sarcastic, "Yes, your Majesty!" (She's right, of course, but where does that come from?????? ha ha ha!)
