She is one of the blessings that we have to be thankfull for this year.Everyone getting ready to enjoy the turkey. Tom cutting up the meat.

A night out with Mark and Bernie

We had a great night out with our friends Mark and Bernie. Frist a great steak dinner at the Texas Roadhouse which is one of my personal favorites for steak . Then Mark took us out along the river raisin to his hide-a-way that he calls "The Frog Inn". He built a fire turned out the lights and we watched the river flow by. Nice night as the snow fell we enjoyed the fire and each other just talking.

It even has a loft that Mark shares with his grandson Alex. They spend the night there from time to time.

Dinner at Bolles Harbor Cafe

We went out to eat with Matt ,Michelle and Michell's mom Terri. She is visiting from New York (state) . It was good to see her again and we had a good time . I don't like to eat out much because it is so hard to find good food! We went to the Bolles Harbor Cafe and it was great! Try it sometimes.

Hunting in the snow opening weekend.

Gun season opened Saturday and it poured rain all day. Cold rain soaked us thru and thru right down to my underwear! I froze! It would have been worth it if the bucks would have cooperated but they stayed out of sight. The next day it snowed . A lot! Matt hunted in the morning and I joined him after lunch. More snow falling sometimes very heavy. I saw three does but my scope was so foggy inside that I couldn't see thru it. I let them pass.
The trip back across the lake was something with the snow falling so thick that it was hard to see shore. Great fun,really it was great.

The water was higher because of all of the rain.

The snow was really coming down.

All loaded and ready to put the canoe on top and call it a night.

One of these days Ginny will get her car back!

Birthday dinner in the Tipi

Well with the Tipi still up in the yard we thought that it should get used. So we had some friends over for Dave's birthday party. Ginny made a feast,I lit the wood burner and everyone brought a dish. They loved it.
