CHRISTMAS IS COMING!
It is cold in North Dakota, with snow--just the stuff for Christmas. On the other hand, it is warm and dry in Arizona, just the stuff for Christmas, for some of us!
Fortunately, the calves have been put in the feed lot, according to Mavis, so Dad has some entertainment outside his door, and the calves can keep each other warm. The cows are out in the fields eating beet tops--a rich and warm diet.
Abbie has been watching Christmas programs with Dad, and entertaining him all the while. She lights up his life, and he seems to light up hers as well.
The oil drilling activity is really thriving, we hear from many sources. The national news indicated, as you may have heard, that Williston has the most vigorous economy of any town in the United States! North Dakota has the lowest unemployment rate of any state, and the fastest growing economy. People are moving to North Dakota from many states because that is where the jobs are. Good news!
Notes from Dione and Maureen indicate they are staying put for Christmas, as we are. We haven't lighted our fireplace yet, because it has been too warm, but Dione, Saul, and Mollie enjoy their's every day for heat and coziness. Maureen and Mat will be spending Friday rooting for their University of Montana football team playing in the national championship game.
We spent the day (Sunday) getting our Christmas letter ready for mailing, which means you should be receiving a copy soon. It will bring you up-to-date on our life in Tucson.
Cheers,
Bill and Marie
