Winter Break, 2009

Can't decide which way to go--so she will just take a nap!

Ready for "one more" run

Trying to get up the energy to go some more

"I'll debate the issue a while longer!"

Once again we made the trek up North to go skiing. Even got a little ice skating in. It was fun just to have a relaxing weekend without so much going on!

Just a thought...

So on Ground Hog's Day he sees his shadow and it is six more weeks of winter. Does that mean if he doesn't see his shadow, it is six more weeks until Spring?! I've always wondered about that--seems like either way, it is still quite a while until Spring. I don't remember too many Springs starting in February!

Happy 80th Birthday!

Happy 80th Birthday, Dad and Grandpa!
Wishing you a very happy year!
Love, Us

Happy Birthday, Jeanne!

Wishing you a great day and year!

Loving Winter!

I don't know why, but I have just loved this winter! It finally acts like a real winter. We are double our usual snowfall for this time of year--actually we are at what we usually have for the whole winter--and it has stayed cold enough so most of it hasn't melted. Except for our drive to MN and back and frozen water lines it has been pretty enjoyable. Today we are having our fourth snow day. They did increase the amount of snow days since the road commission is cutting back on clearing roads--I don't think we have had a plow down this road yet this winter. Our road is between two school district's so we have twice the bus traffic down it. Anyway, maybe I'll go put another log on the fire!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, LEON & MAXINE!

Wish I was there to have dessert with you again!

More Catching Up!

Nothing like a good pile of snow to dig through!

The other morning the trees were covered in frost! I didn't get
a good picture of it when the sun was shining on them, but
they were beautiful!

This is what water lines look like in a crawl space that
reaches 0 degrees!

A fun game of Fill Or Bust with the Radbourne clan!
Good Hot Chocolate, too!
