Christmas comes to Albert Lea

Getting into the spirit of Christmas

The Albert Lea Christmas Bazaar took place tonight downtown and we were able to take in a little bit of it. Lots of energy along Broadway despite the very cold weather and slippery roads and sidewalks!

Fun time in Albert Lea!

We joined members and friends of the Glenville UMC's United Women in Faith for a December lunch out at Pizza Ranch. The highlight was a fun-filled melodrama with lots of laughter and fellowship filling the time together!

One Year Ago...

One year ago today, we completed the trip from Colorado to our new home in Albert Lea, Minnesota. What an amazing experience this year has been!

A special treat

We are blessed to have a church family that shows its love in wonderful ways. Today, Roy G. presented us with a hand-made 28th anniversary gift!

In the Christmas mood

Wesley has been finding the garland on the fireplace mantel a great perch from which to enjoy the days leading up to Christmas!

The first snow of the season

Charles was out this morning with our brand-new Minnesota snow blower! (We have purchased them in other states in the past but left them when we moved). When all was said and done, we recorded 9" here in Albert Lea!!!

Late night visitors

Every so often we are visited by a family of deer. They enjoy the treats that we put out for the critters in our neighborhood.
