Interstate 80 and 30 are both closed today. This is the way it looks when they let the traffic go after being closed for hours. Wall to wall trucks and cars trying to make up for lost time.
The windmill aereator that George installed at the Miller Lake a couple of weeks ago, is working. It kept a large area open to the air. This will keep the ice from freezing over and shutting the oxygen off to the newly planted fish. 
The windmill pumps air into a hose that makes bubbles and inhibits ice forming. 
This is taken Dec 29 after weeks of freezing weather, some below zero. It is keeping the lake open. 
Liz making gingerbread cookies with Grandma. Cracking eggs, stirring, and using the rolling pin "by myself" is so interesting. Brothers are all in school. 
We sent some home to the boys. The frosting and features are all askew. They seem to be kicking their legs up in the air as they got manhandled onto the cookie sheet before baking. Then we had to go read the Gingerbread Man story and sing the song!! Fun times for both of us. 
Playing monopoly. Random moves with money being paid indiscriminately. That's the way 3 3/4 year olds play. Very stress free, no worries about buying or selling property!! Roll the dice and ask the other person for a "purple money". 
Mom is keeping busy at the quilt store cutting out and making up apron panels. One lady saw what she was doing and bought 5 to make for gifts.
