November 2022 |

The first snow of the year arrived on November 2nd. | It was beautiful, but I wasn't ready for the snow to start. |
The snow was so heavy that Kalispell had terrible limb
breakage and power outages.

Watching a play at Timbers Event Center, "More Precious
Than Gold." It was a play about the history of eastern Montana told through stories. |
We have to force Buddy to go out for potty breaks, then he heads straight for the wood stove. | It was a "not terribly cold" day one day so we took that chance to put up our Christmas lights. |
Here is our finished product - ready for
Christmas!

The Timbers Lodge looking lovely for Christmas as well. |

Helping Amy prepare for Jeb's 50th birthday party, which we held at Timbers Event Center. | |
There was a large crowd, great food, and the corn hole was very popular as well. | I took about 15 shots to get this fairly decent one of all seven sons plus Dan & Rose. Love these shots! |
A whole line of Casazza men, intent on their corn hole game. This

Amy got the world's worst Rummikub hand ever known to mankind. | New configuration of Casazzas on the couch for the football. |
We helped decorate the lodge for Christmas, here is the main tree. Beautiful! |

We had one day when all of the snow melted. The next morning - this! | |

Fresh snow is pretty, I'll have to give it that. | |
That precious face. We spend a LOT of time
together. |
Buddy had been enjoying the fire, but Lily is doing her,
"I'll crowd you slowly until you can't stand it and leave" maneuver. It's her signature move. |
