2010 CABIN SNOW

IT SNOWED ALITTLE LAST WEEK, SO I HAD TO SHOVEL THE BRIDGES. ONLY 5 INCHES THIS TIME. I COULDN'T HELP BUT THINK OF LAST YEAR AT THIS TIME AND THE PILES OF SNOW ALONG THE DRIVE AND WALKWAY WERE 4-5 FT. HIGH. SO I SNAPPED A PIC OF THIS YEARS PILES AND YOU CAN'T HARDLY SEE ANY. I ALSO TOOK A WALK, AT HILLBILLY HEAVEN, AND GOT TO SEE THE SWANS. MAMA & DADDY WITH 4 YEARLINGS. I ALSO CAME ACROSS A JACK RABBIT MEETING UNDER A BIG PINE TREE BY RANDY'S CABIN. THERE WERE 2 SETS OF TRACKS GOING UNDER THE TREE, AND NONE COMING OUT. I TRIED TO SEE UNDER THE BRANCHES TO SEE THEM, BUT DIDN'T WANT TO GET TO CLOSE AND SCARE THEM OUT. I WONDER IF THEY ARE STARTING A NEST THERE? MAYBE THEY KNOW THAT SPRING WILL BE HERE IN 6-8 WEEKS! AFTER SHOVELING THE BRIDGES, I HEADED TO THE DAM, NEED THE EXERCISE YA KNOW. ONLY 1 OTTER TRAIL CROSSING THE PATH, A FEW DEER TRACKS, RED SQ TRACKS, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, SOME CAT TRACKS, A SMALL ONE. THE TROUT WERE NOT IN THE RIVER YET, SHOULD BE SOON. I ALSO CHECKED OUT THE BIG LAKE AND HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MANY FISHING SHANTIES. MUST BE ALL THE LAYED OFF GUYS GOING AFTER SOMETHING TO EAT!!

WELL I WILL GO FOR NOW, HAVE MADE SOME BROWNIES AND THEY ARE COOLING. I WILL TRY TO MAKE THEM LAST MORE THAT 1 DAY. HEE HEE HEE.

ANOTHER BUNCH OF NICE TRIPS

HAD A GREAT TIME AT SARAH'S AND BOB'S A WEEK AGO. AND THAN RONDA'S AND VISIT WITH JENNY AND THE GIRLS. PLAYED MANY GAMES AND WENT TO SOME OF NICK'S HOCKEY GAMES. THE GIRLS GOT TO MAKE PERSONNAL BROWNIES AND EAT THEM. I SUPPLIED THE TURKEY AND FIXENS. AND LINDA MADE A REESES PIE THAT DIDN'T LAST 24 HOURS. PICKED UP SOME NEW GAMES FOR THE NORTH COUNTRY FOR RAINY DAYS. WELL BEST GO FOR NOW. I DID FIGURE OUT MY CAMERA AND AS SEEN, CAN LOAD PICS AGAIN. YA ALL WATCH THE ICE AND WILL BE BACK SOON.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

WELL IT IS HERE, 2010, AND THE SNOW HAS BEEN KEEPING AT BAY THIS YEAR. JUST A LITTLE HERE AND THERE. SO MY SHOVEL TIME, HAS BEEN AT A MIN.

THE BIG THING FOR OUR NEW YEAR, WAS A VISIT FROM GLORIA. AND NOW SHE HAS JOINED THE FACEBOOK CROUD! AND THE DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN FOR HER IF SHE NEEDS A CHANGE OF PACE.

GOT ALL THE CHRISTMAS DECOR DOWN THIS WEEK, NOW JUST NEED TO DO SOME DEEP CLEANING TO CATCH UP, SINCE I WAS KIND OF SLACK OVER THE HOLIDAYS.

GOT AN UPDATE FROM MOM ON HOW COLD IT HAS BEEN IN THE SUNSHINE STATE?

OK NOW FOR THE BAD NEWS, I AND CLIFF WERE BLOWN OUT OF THE WATER PLAYING CARDS WITH THE LADIES. WE WERE BEAT 8 GAMES IN A ROW, I CAN STILL SMELL THAT DEFEAT! AND WE WILL WILL BE REMINDED OF IT FOR MONTHS TO COME, I'M SURE. I THINK I WILL BUY A NEW DECK OF CARDS.
