Cool Ranch Counts!

Mum got a root canal done on one of her teeth and was instructed that she could only drink cool or warm liquids (no solid foods). She was eating chips, being careful to only chew on the 'safe' side of her mouth, and Naomi was reproving her, saying that she didn't think that chips would be considered cool or warm liquids. “But they were 'cool ranch'.” Mom explained. I wonder what her dentist would have to say about that, :-)

Happy New Year!

January 6th
It's a new year! I can't say that's were hitting the new year with happiness, health, and wealth. 8 of us are sick with a cold that has a cough that sticks around for weeks. :-( Wealth was never to be had in the Holter family, but, happiness is usually always around here. That's one thing about having so many people in the house, even if a couple of people aren't happy, there is usually someone around who has a smile on their face. :-)
Naomi was calling around yesterday and was getting some things settled about music camp and the boys and girls camp. It was fun to hear from a couple of our friends there. We might even get to go to the John Arcand Fiddle Fest! Michele will be doing a presentation of Kenosee Lake Kitchen Party, and if we will help with it we will get free passes into the Fiddle Fest. I'm really excited about that because I have wanted to go to it ever since we've started into music. :-) I think everything is getting settled about us girls doing music at the boys and girls camp in July too, so that's nice. :-)
I'm almost done with Robin's training. I think I have 4 more days left. I'm hoping to get him out of here the end of this week. That's a nice thought! :-) No more freezing my hands and feet while riding everyday. :-)
G'day to ya'll. Keep on staying warm until spring comes! :-) ~Lydia~
