Sunday snowstorm

Sunday, January 21st, 2007

After I was whining about a lack of winter weather earlier this month, it has been very wintry here over the past week or so. We’ve had a couple of snowstorms and typically cold temperatures.

This was the scene outside my door this morning.

Christmas spirit

Friday, December 15th, 2006

I spent a great deal of yesterday evening writing up Christmas cards to send out. As I got to a lot of the names on the list I start to wonder… Why do I have contact with some of these people only once a year? Some I intended to visit, or correspond with a lot more than I have. Where does the time go? It seems like it was just a few months ago when I was writing out my Christmas cards last year.

Laurie and Pirate Adam

I got to see my great nephew Adam in his Halloween costume tonight. Here he is with his Grandmother (my sister-in-law), who made the swashbuckling jacket.

Say it with me now… “Arrrrrrrr!”

Yesterday I returned home from a camping trip to northern Wisconsin. My goal for this trip was to explore some of the bike trails in Vilas County that run through the Northern Highland - American Legion State Forest.
