Merry Christmas – Jelly Shed
Happy Holidays.
I hope that everyone is having a great time regardless of your beliefs.
Remember that the spirit is joy and happiness – not stress and debt. Even if Americans spend more on Christmas gifts than the military costs for the entire year… have FUN.
We have snowshoeing and rather last minute tree cutting going on tomorrow, once Alice and Justin arrive. Later will be all the traditional foods and whot-not.
One tradition that goes on with out fail, and always stirs up funny emotions in my gut is Fireside Al’s reading of ‘the Shephard’

Otherwise I’ve been digging, nailing and getting Justin & Kelly (Jelly) a Shed built. Dad came down for the final push (and was paid in perogies, sausage and Ethiopian food)
Before:
Here are a few photos of that event. Overall it was a lot of fun, and one of the first projects I can remember (I am sure that there are others) working on with my dad since making my cub car.

Hey Nat, I’d never heard ‘the shephard’ before thanks for sharing that tradition with us.
