Christmas Day

Getting ready to visit the family by my Mother’s house.

Happy Holidays.

Merry Christmas

We celebrated the Neverman Christmas yesterday by Mona’s Sister in Manitowoc. We had a good time. Mona got her quick fix of the Monopoly Card Game.

Photos to Follow when I get a little time.

Special Update

Mona mentioned to me last night that my Sister-in-Law reminded her that I hadn’t updated the site here in quite some time. This posting is specially for her.

Here is a photo of Mona cutting the grass for the last time in 2011. It was taken about two weeks ago. I said it’s the last time this year because right now, most of the lawn is covered with SNOW!  The next time might be me on the 4-wheeler removing the snow from our driveway?
