HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM!

Well it is on now! Dianne is in Ohio. Because of weather delays and mechanical problems with planes and holiday air traffic a simple journey of 1000 miles took Dianne 22 hours!

I will be there in three days...give or take a blizzard or two. Oh by the way it is 80 degree's here in San Antonio today....Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Tomorrow is our son Tom's birthday! (Not telling the years!).

He is called "Daddy" by his kids

"Tom" by Dianne, Des, Chris, and Ryan,

He goes by "Thomas" at work...in Jackson Hole

But I have called him "T" since he was 14....and probably always will in person!

We are proud if Tom. He is an original "Straight Shooter".

He always tries to do everything the "right" way.

He has tremendous personal integrity. He is the kind of guy that you would want in your foxhole if you were in a battle because:

1) You could trust him

2) You know that he would put his life on the line to save yours.

Tom is a good husband and provider to Kristi and the kids, Brendan, Kiarra, and Kristofer; a good "Big" brother to Des, Ryan and Chris; and a wonderful son to Dianne and I.

He has a really awesome sense of humor that he unleashes at the most unexpected moments...

And he has a soft spot for wild life in Wyoming especially the bears.

So here's to you "T"!

Have a blessed and happy birthday tomorrow and stay safe and warm!

Tomorrow is also my brother Rick's 40th birthday! So in honor of him, I am going to watch the double trilogy Star Wars movie box set between now and Monday.

feliz cumpleanos a ti mi hermoso!

I'm Out....

Merry Christmas to All!

The Shepherds and Angels

That night some shepherds were in the fields outside the village, guarding their flocks of sheep. Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord’s glory surrounded them. They were terribly frightened, but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news of great joy for everyone! The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born tonight in Bethlehem, the city of David! And this is how you will recognize him: You will find a baby lying in a manger, wrapped snugly in strips of cloth!” Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others—the armies of heaven—praising God: “Glory to God in the highest heaven,and peace on earth to all whom God favors.”
Luke 2:8-13


Well it has been a while and like everyone it is a busy time of year... But with all that is going on let's keep it in perspective in to what is important.
Jesus - "The Reason for the Season"...The Lord's gift of Salvation is the better than even we can imagine.

Family - Happy Birthday to our precious granddaughter Kiarra who turned 9 years old this week! She has been a wonderful gift of blessing to Dianne and I.

We are excited to be going to Ohio for Christmas to see Mike, Des, and those girlz! But at the same time we will miss Tom, Kristi, Brendan, Kiarra, Kristofer, Chris, Ryan, Katie, Logan, Gavin and "Baby Bump". We were all together last year, and if we had our way we would be like that every day...I guess we will have to wait until we all get to heaven to be together.

We also will miss seeing all of the rest of the family in Colorado. If we could we would be there also...

We love all of you and miss each if you in a special way. We pray the Lord's blessing and peace over you today and always....

I'm Out.....
