Farmland and Funnies...

This past weekend, Lee went a photographed some farmland around where we live. Remember we are in winter time here now, so it is not as green as we are told it will be. Lee wanted some pictures so he could start painting some landscapes in his spare time before school starts is Jan. These are few of just a dozen or so that he took. Hopefully this gives all of you a general idea of what it looks like here. We obviously live in the more populated area, but this is just outside of town.We actually saw a sunset! Usually the sun doesn't shine that much this time of year, but the other night it was gorgeous.We also drove up to Michigan. It is only 1 hour away. While we were there, we ate at a place called Buffalo Wild Wings. I had to take a picture of the napkin they had there, it made us laugh.
We had a fun weekend. The ward here had a Christmas sing- in at one of the members's houses last night. It was fun to sing christmas songs and eat food, and get to know more friends. Santa visited our house the other night to make sure we were not traveling this Christmas. He wanted to know where to leave their presents. The kids were excited that he would think of that. :)

It's SO flat! It looks really pretty, though. That's good that Lee is keeping up with his talents.

I never realized Lee inherited Grandma Barney's painting talent... That is so cool! Post some when he gets them done. I'll be anxious to see them.
