We saw some snow, temps at night are down to 19*.  It’s been beautiful.  We took a drive Saturday morning.  We went to breakfast at a place called Hilltop.  It’s on the Elliot Hiway, the same one that the Ice Road Truckers take.  The coffee shop is quite a while before the road gets bad though.   On the way to breakfast, we saw a guy on the highway winching a cow moose onto his trailer.  Apparently, when there is road kill they have folks to call up here.  The meat is salvaged when possible.

Saturday morning, we got a call that we knew was coming.  Grandpa went home to be with the Lord at about 5:30am PDT.  He is now in the presence of his Savior.  Very cool to think about.

I’ve been very blessed with a Christian heritage.  I was raised in church, and though I’ve not been the sharpest knife in the drawer, have always known God’s grace.  My knowledge of the Savior has been thanks to my parents, and their parents before them.  It’s been a wonderful thing that is easy to forget in the business of life.  Thanks Mom and Dad, and your folks too, for the examples you’ve been for me, for us.
