My Next Car????

This looked like it would be a lot of fun to have. I think it would do better downstate as they seem to be getting more snow that us.

Let the Sun Shine

It is a beautiful day in Paradise. We went out to walk the beach by the Point. The wind had a bite to it but the sun on your back felt warm. The ice mounds have gone down a little but it is still pretty. The fishing boats are almost free of ice so they will be heading out as soon as they safely can. It feels good to get out and walk. Spring is not to far away and if it is not going to snow let Spring begin.

Happy Birthday Becca!!

Becca was 20 years old yesterday. She is the oldest grandchild and is a great example for the others. She is steadfast in her beliefs, has a strong family value and pushes herself to succeed in all she does. She is generous in all things she does for the family. We love you Becca and have every confidence you will do everything you want to do in life. Take the time to have fun and just be a young person. You are loved by a big family group and one of our jewels tucked in near our heart. Have a good week!

Outside my window.

We were greeted with another beautiful sunrise. I think I like the sunrises better because it is a new start and who knows what the day will bring. The coyote couple were moving fast across the ice trying to get to a place to rest for the day. We are headed to the Soo and will stop on the way home to have a great meal of King Crab and Whitefish at the Bay Mills Casino in Brimley. What a lot of fun in store for us. I love to go down Curly Lewis Highway--so pretty. We will be out and about enjoying a warmer day. Last night it was 7 degrees and it is supposed to hit low 30's today. It is a regular heat wave. Enjoy the day!

Happy Birthday Alida!!

Today is Alidas birthday. She is a very good wife, mother and daughter-in law. She makes sure the kids and her husband feel loved and cared for. Alida works long hours and like many other women finds time to get her family into fun activities. She LOVES Christmas and the other holidays and her joy for them makes you excited too. My son is lucky to have a woman like her for a life partner. Have a good year Alida--find time to read and have fun. We are proud of you. You are one of my many jewels tucked in near my heart. Love you! Happy Valentines Day!

Bummer

Just got in from clearing drive and getting wood. Dennis said "would you like a glass of wine". Sure I would. I can see me sitting in my comfy chair by the fire wine glass in hand--sounds good. Dennis uncorks one of our great Virginia wines and catastrophe the cork is all nasty. Ugh!!! Oh well, down to the basement to get another bottle and see what we can find. I guess we don't drink it fast enough, I have to remember that--good excuse! New bottle, filled glass and there we are enjoying the rest of the evening.

A Little More!

Well, we got a little more snow. You could hear the hum of snowmobiles late into the night. It is a welcome sound because you know the people who have a business are finally making some money. The wind is blowing and moving the snow from the front to the back. Stopped by Sandy and Norms and saw that she really does a great job using the tractor to move the snow. She is a treasure. She keeps her home warm, cleared of snow and full of smiles. My brother is a lucky man. We were going to go to the dog sled races but thought better of it. Tires need to be replaced and with the new snow and being back off the main road it wasn't to smart to go. We are holding out till spring on buying the tires to get the most wear out of the ones we have. Have the money but just don't want to part with it yet. Lots to do outside today so I know it will be a good one. Enjoy the week-end.

Whitefish Point

Dennis took me for a ride to the Point. I am very sad about the lack of snow. We have been very cold and that is what saved the little snow we have. We were 120 inches down from normal last year and 150 down this year. The Bay has opened up again. Looks like this year is another easy one for us. Some years Dennis was going out 2 and 3 times a day to clear the snow. Mother Nature gives what she wants when she wants--we can't control everything. The week-end is coming--enjoy!

Coming fun events

A Day for a Walk

Today we went to the falls for a walk. It was cold and clear. It was so beautiful. There are so many things to see. They are having a lot of fun things to do there for us to get out and enjoy the great outdoors. I thought the tree rings were very interesting. The trees around you tell a story of the years long before we were here. They were here and growing. Makes you feel like your place in this world takes up so little space. Have a good night.
