2017 is here, 2016 is forever past. Jen & I haven't been doing so well at keeping our blog updated, so we had a great idea - why not let Nicki do it for us?!? Nicki was excited about the idea, although it hasn't been as easy as she thought it would be at first. Anyway, other than my few words here, all the rest of the blog is compliments of Nicki. Yippee! So here's a few photos & comments of some things that went on in October & November of 2016. Signing out, Marvin.
