snow country

What a couple of beautiful days. Yesterday, Sandy came and picked me up and we went to the Soo. We shopped and had a real nice day. This morning we woke up to 5 or 6 inches of new snow and last night we watched the ships anchored out in the bay sometimes like ghosts and sometimes lite with bright lights out in the night. We went to Mackinac and shopped in some little stores that were supposed to have big sales. What a disappointment. We had a lot of fun though and the weather seemed to co-operate for us. Sandy is looking forward to Norms return as well as everyone else. Mikes friends are supposed to arrive here late tonight and stay before they return downstate for the holiday We saw a icebreaker going toward the bridge as we were crossing. It was just moving the ice that was starting to clump togethar. Shipping season will be over shortly and I will miss the lights of the big ships at night for 3 months. One thing good about seeing them come back is that spring is in the air and new life is breathed back into the cold upper. It is new beginning for many things--Young animals and birds and new hope and anticipation for all of us. Have a good night.
