What a weekend!

I love reading blogs so I just had to have one but now to keep it up and figure out what to write is hard. I don't know how my kids do it. I don't think much has happened the past few weeks which is why I haven't written anything. Brian and I went up to our cottage this weekend and it was a wonderful, relaxing and quiet one. It is so good to get away and just be around the cottage and water (even though) it is frozen over. The snow was gone Friday afternoon and Brian actually raked the small willow branches. He only got about half done when the snow started coming. We got about two inches and it just made everything beautiful and the hoarfrost on the fields was amazing. God's creation was just awesome. It's just so peaceful and serene!

There was a fishing tournament on our lake and there was about 20 vehicles and ice huts and many holes in the ice. Don't know how it went but of course, Brian went out to talk to a few people. All I got to say was "NUTS NUTS NUTS". I don't like walking on the ice let alone in a car with all the holes around and you can't see where the holes are because the snow that came. Oh well - I'm just not a fisherman.

We walked out on the ice - Yes, Brian actually got me out there (about 5' only). We were just looking at the shoreline to see what we can do about it and as we took one step off, Brian's foot went in. Didn't help my security blanket at all. But I ventured out and it was ok once you got out about 3 foot or so. Bailey had a ball on it. She liked slipping and sliding. We would like to take our grandson on the ice. Maybe next year, by the time we go up again, ice will be gone.

We just had lunch with Jess and Pop Pa. Jessica had a home visit in Lindenhurst so we met her up at Pop Pa's and took them to lunch at the Lake House. It was nice and nice seeing his Dad and Jess together. Lindsey was out yesterday and Greg had Cole duty. They are doing well and you can see how big Cole is getting on Lindsey's blog. Cutest picture of him with a white bear! And Amanda is doing well. Just moved into an apartment this weekend. Yea - she is off the mountain. They were supposed to get another two feet of snow so hopefully they moved out before the second snow came.
