Old Time Winter

Dad sent out this picture of his porch a few weeks ago and Gary response to the picture was "Yep - an old time winter. I have had my tractor for 26 years and this is the first time I actually got it stuck in the driveway." Well we here in the "D" also have seen more snow than we have in years! Below is my porch. Yeh I know I should have taken in my porch furniture in for the season....guess in the back of my mind I really would like a new set. Or maybe I am just lazy!

Christmas Up North

Well we survived the holidays! Except poor old dad. Poor guy was sick Christmas & missed Christmas dinner. Aunt Annie also wasn't able to make it over on Christmas due to her not feeling well either. The other 18 of us, were fine! We had kids sleeping on the floors and chairs.

We had tons of snow when we got there but by the time we left on Saturday it had rain for about a day and most of the snow was gone. It was crazy. Luckily Craig and family was able to get in alot of snowmobiling in before the snow left. Best story:
Craig told us about his and Dad's ride before we got up there. He said they were down on the river and he was just flying and he stopped to see how far grandpa was behind him and .........zoom...POD flew by. So Craig caught up with him and said Hey going a little fast and Dad said .."whatever".. and took off. Love it!





These are pictures of a ride we took down by the Pinney Bridge. It was beautiful by the rive with the snow. Pictured : Robby, Craig, Cindy amd Me.
