Reed Ranch- Cute & Tasty

Hello all of you,

It has been cold and snowy here at the Ranch, with a couple of warmer rainy days thrown in. We had a wonderful Christmas and a part of a very nice New Years day. We got stuck on Long Island in a snow storm New Years eve, it was very windy and very cold. The snow moved off Manhattan, as you know if you watched the crystal ball fall in Times Square, but it was still snowing on Long Island and up in Connecticut so we stayed until morning and drove up then. We thought Times Square was busy the 9th when we were there for the Rockett's show, but they stuck almost a million people into the same area, wow, too busy for me.

The wind was really hard this winter already, we had a couple of items blown around and over and last week the wind blew a good section of the wall off the old garage building. with this damage I belive that it will need ripped down. I have an Amish crew coming to give me an estimage, but if it is too much the old building will be razed.

Cheryl and Quinlyn were both sick last night, there has been some bad flu (?) going around up here the last week or so. It comes on pretty quick and knocks you off your feet. Pray for them.

I talked to Margie last night and Melanie is in the hosptital, for observations, she started having contractions and they stopped those, the babies are ok, but they may want her to go on bed rest till the babies are born. That will be tough on their budget as Las Vegas is not cheap and their medical bills have been high. So they need God's intervention.

Aunt Jane and Uncle David called, they are down at Latrobe at Cindy's, David said he was going to stop at Dad's and see if Margie and Roger could meet them for lunch some where. They had been to State College to visit Jane, but did run into some hard snow on the way up there. Otherwise their trip is doing well and they are going to Chicago next week for a couple of days before they head back to Sydney. I think they have a trip in July, a wedding in Orlando, then to Pa, and another to Chicago area in the fall, not sure of all the dates.

Tim and Geri held a baby shower for Andy and Trish Saturday at their house in Latrobe. This was a big party with most of the young families showing up, Margie was there and I hope someone sends out some photos for us all. I will check with Margie and Ben to see if they have any, or maybe Matt and Dana would have some and post them.

I think Cathy and Wilson moved to the San Francisco area I believe, we will check on the move and the location and get back to you all. That is a big step, but should be a great location, I liked the area. Maybe they could send us a picture or let us know if some are posted on facebook or somewhere.

I hear from Roger that Roger and Misty and family are planning to move soon, not sure of the date, but it should be soon. At least there should be little snow and ice down there in Flordia.

Well God bless you all, and please pray for all the family.
