Dan's 2 hour hair cut and our first fishing trip of the year!

You will never believe this but I watch this hair cutting DVD 2-3 times in a row, once in spanish. I wanted to get it down right and not mess up this time. I tried to cut Dans hair again for my 3rd effort try this last Saturday, and no kidding, it took me a good two hours. You can imagine how Dan was feeling by the first hour and only half way done. hee! hee! Any how, I am a perfectionist when it comes to things like this, and I had to have it done right! I think this time I did a much better job on it and wanted to see your thoughts! It's not perfect, but it's better then the second time I did it. oh and I did cut both his ears on the top tips. oops!



Anyways, once I was done with that we got ready and went for a drive down to Valley Falls to fish for our first time this year. We got our licence's and bate and went all out. When we got there the lake was frozen and farther down the road it was closed for the winter. We continued down to Tygrat Lake and tried our fishing there instead. Of course we didn't catch anything this time, it might be too early.
We plan on taking a camping trip very soon though for Dans Birthday. It will be sometime this month. We are going to try out our new camping gear we got for Christmas and maybe try some fishing. Hopefully we will have more luck this time. We shall keep you posted on more details.

New Years Eve at the Waldron's

Dan Fixed Dads old Violin!!

Dan had a great idea for Christmas this past year. He saw my dads old violin from when he was in school, back in the day, but had every piece missing from it that he needed to play. Even the bow was bad. Dan took both my old one and dads to a music store to see how much it would be to fix them up. Mine was worped and made poorly but dads just need some parts for it to play. It was a little more then we could afford, so Dan had the crazy idea of fixing it himself. Although he had never done it before, he plays very well and knows a lot about them. He got advice from the music stores and ordered the tools online to fix it up. I took apart my violin and used the pieces for dads. That way we didn't have to pay for any parts. To make a long store short, he put dads violin together, played it to see if it worked and we went off new years eve and gave it to him. It wasn't done professionally, but it still worked ok! Good Job Dan!!
