I took this photo from my front porch at night with lightning lighting up the night sky.

These Christmas lights light up some jars in my son’s business’ window today.

I resolve to attempt to enjoy the snow more this year or at least take more photos of it. Snow is pretty, but the cold can be hard to take!

Son Rodger cooks a holiday feast.

I don’t know how to post multiple photos, so I’m doing them one at a time. Here, my son, Robert, looks at my sister’s dog, Garbo, who was injured. Notice the cloth cast on her leg.

Christmas Eve services I attended with my sister and mother at First Lutheran Church in Manhattan, Kan., while my sons and dad stayed home and made Christmas Eve dinner.

This is some tornado damage in Kansas. Things are very delicate around tornadoes. I shot this with my own camera.
