Our 25th Anniversary & Christmas Concert #2

 Dec. 9:

JJ and I had our 25th anniversary on the same day as Miss E had her last high school Christmas concert.  She sang in the senior small group, played tympani & drums in the concert band, sang in concert choir, had a solo in the 3rd song (which sounded awesome, btw!) and helped announce the Spring Musical (Cinderella). 


















Cocoa & Carols Concert

 Dec. 6:

JJ and I took IC, F, and Miss E to Miss A's Christmas concert in Wayne.  It was a very nice program.  10 miles before we got to town, there was snow.  And we had to drive home on wet roads until we got about 10 miles from Geneva!  Otherwise, the weather wasn't bad. We went to The Jug afterwards for supper.  The food was pretty good, but it took awhile to get it.  It was a good night, though, and we recovered the next day (Sunday).

Kansas Rabbit Show

 Nov. 28-29:

The weather wanted to play havoc with our plans for Thanksgiving weekend.  On Friday, I left with Miss E to take numerous rabbits to Manhattan, KS to the ARBA rabbit show.  We stayed overnight in a hotel (the buns stayed in the armory, where the show was taking place), and we door dashed Firehouse Subs -which was excellent, by the way.

Saturday morning, we went to the show and it was RAINING. It like, rained the whole morning, then turned to a bit of snow, and then it stopped by the afternoon.  Miss E ended up with 2 BOBs for Smudge, who was the only French Lop entered in the 2 youth shows.  She also had a Best of Opposite for variety and a Best of Opposite breed for Youth B show for her mini lops-both were the recent babies.











We drove home starting off with wonderful roads and about 1/2 hour into it, the roads got yucky.  It had snowed north of Manhattan, including home and since the wind was awful, snow was blowing across the road, making spots slick and snow covered.  We got home in one piece, with some new rabbits, by the way, we were FULL in the back and the extra weight probably helped keep us stable!  It took the next day for us to recover from all of that.
