Welcome to the Hegarty Herald. Hopefully someone will update it regularly but no promises. Currently, Colin is starting Goodyear Little League this week, Genna is getting used to a new kindergarten teacher (she thought the old one was mean anyway), and Lisa is into a new book about growing everything you need to eat in your backyard. Along that line, Jack seems to buy a quarter of a grass-fed steer regularly so we eat lots of beef these days. He's is going to Tucson to the UA agriculture research facility with Lisa's uncle Dave to pick up a butchered steer. Lisa's other uncle Charlie arranged for the families to split a steer raised on a range in southern Arizona. It's about $500 for over 120 pounds of beef. Jack put a chest freezer in the master closet for the 1/2 beef we now have on site.

Here's some videos and pictures from Christmas 2008 Christmas dinner.

Grandma figuring out her gift is not totally sincere. She admitted in an earlier visit to going for walks early in the morning when its still dark and she has been known to take a spill occasionally when she doesn't watch her step.
