Woodworker




We visited Peg and Joe last Fall and Dad became aware they needed another set of steps in the garage. These pictures are of the latest creation in modern steps. After all it would not be another -Odenthal-Maier household without a little help from the Father. Birthday presents come and go but I have never gotten steps for mine. Top pictures are of new construction and bottom is where steps are now.
Winter weather has come to Georgia - about 20 degrees last night and tomorrow promises sleet and icy conditions. Actually it is nice to have some cold weather, even bought a pair of boots today to keep my tooties warm.

Life in the South




Well, just updated my blog and Google account. Rather easy to do, not sure I like the color but they say you can change anytime. All is well here - birthdays in January are almost over, only two more to go in this family.

Had lovely time at Buena Noche (next door neighbor annual Christmas Eve event). Small party this year, only about 40 people, usually around 70. Seems people were ill or too far to come. Times they are a changing. The food as usual was wonderful. The Maier table was very small, Dar and Sophie and Dad and I. Maybe next week we will fill a table. Here's a try at a picture. First is "goodie table" --so so good, Second is Hostess Marily at the bar and last is Terry walking Michael.

Weather here unusually warm - 70 degrees again this week - where or where is Winter in Roswell?
