Dec 19-Dec 31 2016 Christmas Time

Kidney stones have been kicking my butt. Several nights with not much sleep  and several days just laying around.  When they don't hurt I am perfectly fine. Hard to accomplish much like this. Since this is Texas I mowed the yard before Christmas to clean it up. Christmas morning we went to Kristi's to watch  the girls open their presents. Adam and Lori were also there. By noon we headed home. The next morning Peyton and Luke made it to our house for their Christmas here. They were at full throttle all day and evening. The next morning they headed back home to  Bryan. Kyle called and his fuel pump went out.  He was still In Liberty so we just towed them back home and they took my truck back to Bryan.  Tuesday night we went to a dinner recognizing Mike Zellers promotion to Managing Director at Citibank.  On Thursday I went to the lake with Mike, Mackenna and Sammi,. Ashley came home with Nana. At the lake we ran power and water down to the boat house. We didn't finish as it was just too cold to get in the water to run the conduit and wire under the dock. I felt good on Thursday and Friday but had a bad day Saturday. Kyle picked me up and brought me home that evening. We had a quiet New Years Eve, I went to bed early and slept hard all night.  Susan and Ashley just sewed and quilted all three days. Kyle got his fuel pump replaced in his truck.  Ashley is staying till Monday and we will take her home.
