Ice On The Pond

These geese got a bit confused when they came in for a landing on the pond and discovered it was frozen. All they could do was stand and look at each other!




Eventually they had enough and took off!

The Goats

We have been helping our neighbors with their goats recently. This one insisted on having his picture taken for the blog. They really are a lot of fun!

Christmas

Celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ at Christmas is a wonderful time of year. It makes it even better when you can celebrate with family. Cheri's parents had a chance to visit over Christmas. They work for Campus Crusade and live in Tennessee.




We used every last bit of snow to have snowball fights over the holidays!




As you can see, we did get some snow around Christmas. The weather forecast is for 1 or 2 more inches of snow tonight!

Snow Day

The snow started rolling in this morning. It was blowing pretty hard but it was sure beautiful. A good day to stay inside!




The wind was blowing so hard our one dog just closed her eyes.





More snow coming in...

Staff Christmas Party

We had a GREAT staff Christmas party this week. More food than you can imagine. This is a great event to get all the staff together and just eat and have fun.




Here is a picture of some of the gang at my table. These are three of the outstanding workers from our buildings and grounds department. Not only are they hard workers, they are a lot of fun!





Here are our undergraduate admissions counselors. They would love to talk with you about coming to OWU. Dr. Piper, our President, is in the lower left corner.

Here Comes The Ice

We got some fun ice today. It was a good day to even do a little sledding behind our house!



The ice is still coming...




I remember sitting here drinking iced tea this summer. Now we're shoving ice down each others boots!

Order of the Arrow Washita Lodge

Last night was the winter banquet for the Washita Lodge. There were a lot of awards given and a great dinner with arrowmen and their families! Above are the officers of the lodge.

We had a great dinner of steak, potatoes, rolls, salad, and wonderful desserts. Nobody went home hungry!



It was a great night for families to celebrate the achievements of their arrowmen!
