Here we are enjoying the afternoon at Eklutna Lake, Mom, Barbara, and I. The weather was warm and the ice was melting somewhat around the lake. The sun never really came out that day, it was mostly overcast. We hiked a little and saw cross-country skiers, people walking their dogs, and just enjoying God's great outdoors.

She's 82 now and she will possibly wear red and purple together. Mom is a grand lady who is sharp as anything and can still out-story tell anyone I know!!

We had a great celebration with 16 of us at her home for gyros complete with the cucumber sauce. I'm not sure how to spell it. Tom bought mariniated mozzarella balls and sliced roasted red peppers for two trays. Barbara made a fantastic three-layer cake which was enjoyed by all. Chrissy, Dot, and I put together the gyros and had lots of fun doing it. It's always a treat to be together. Thank you Lord for giving us such an awesome mother! We love you Mom!

I Think We Need a Sled Built for Two




Elli LOVES to go outside and so does Finn for that matter. But she will keep her gloves and hat on and he will not keep his gloves on. Last week, we shoveled our sidewalk and his little hands were pink. He could handle the shovel better.






Finn actually got to ride on the Argo complete with snowplow from the nice neighbor Gary Stadig. He loved it sitting right next to him plowing the snow. Then he took him on a ride down the road. It beats riding in a sled for a little boy! Wish I would ahve had a picture of that.
