Windchill, Snow, Wind = MB Winter

This is what I'm trying to do.... It's snowing AGAIN! And it's supposed to be blowing like crazy again tonight with a windchill warnings and very little visibility! Last week we had 3 blizzards in 2 days! I think it's snowed, at least some, every day since than too! But I'm headed to PHX on Sunday!! And I can NOT wait! Just wish Kelly was coming too, but he's off to Aussie country once again! ....I wonder if I'll ever get to go??? I'm sure still hoping! 

Time w/ the Bro

Sunday - church and went away for lunch and supper. Both had youth so, Cam got to know them a little better!

Monday - Kelly and I both had to work, so Cam worked out in the shop with the guys.

Tuesday - Cam and I did a little shopping and then headed out to Kenora. Got there in time for supper. Spent the evening relaxing around the fire.

Wednesday - Went and tried out the snowshoes. They are definitely on my wish list!! Then after lunch headed out across the lakes on the ice roads. Its really awesome driving out there and seeing all those cottages and cabins that you never get to see otherwise! Then Cam, Jess (Kelly's sis), and I headed back to Morris. Picked up Kelly and then went to The Forks to skate on the trails there. Was really cold but lots of fun! Then went for a scrummy supper at Moxy's.

Thursday - Went and did some real shopping. Kelly had promised Cam a steak supper, so he met us after work and we went for steak.

Friday - Kelly took off work early and we loaded up the snowboards and head to Holiday Mountain. Spent a few hours there. I stayed on the bunny hill and tried not to cry out in pain every time landed on my VERY SORE tailbone! Cam and Kelly quickly graduated to 'whiter hills'! When everyone was finally done we headed home, stopping at Coffee Culture for soup, sandwich, and coffee! Was a really fun day, even tho I ended up getting a very black and blue bum!

Saturday - Cam went snowboarding with some of the guys down in the states. Kelly worked on the ambulance and I went out with the fire guys on a call then came home and went with Kelly on the ambulance. Cam went in the ambulance after he got home, but didn't get any calls...

Sunday - church again and went to Nelson's in the evening to sit around the fire and gab.

Monday - another work day. Cam came after lunch. Then we went to Nelson's for supper.

Tuesday - Cam and I headed out for Grand Forks. Was a blowy day, so not much fun driving! Found a hole in the wall pizza joint to eat at. Boy, was it ever good!! Then dropped Cam off at the airport!

Was a WONDERFUL time!! Hope he comes again before too long!!

Happy New Year

                                    

I see I haven't been to my computer for quite some time, at least not for blogging! We had a wonderful time in 'Sweet Home Alabama'! On the way there we made a stop in Hardinsburg, to visit Doug, Laura, & kids. Was way to short, but we're so glad that they live right on the way to AL and hope to stop in many more times! We also made a stop in Fountain Run to see all the family that was around. Always love seeing them again, and staying at U. Greg's always brings back lots of great memories from youth life! Finally arrived in AL after many calls and texts of, 'where are you,' and 'are you almost here'. Everyone else was there already so we started right in with the fun. Of course the guys were begging to open gifts right away, but we managed to make them wait until Christmas Eve night after a hay ride and singing a few carols to some of the neighbors. I think we all got what we asked for! For me it was an electric bread knife, scarf, and an owl trivet. Kelly got a knife, hugs & kisses. Also got candy and chocolates from Wayne and a little house light from Mom. So we were well spoiled! The rest of our time was spent shopping, ice skating, playing Settlers, and of course eating! We also went touring to Desoto Falls, The Cherokee Rock Village, Buck's Pocket, High Falls, and stopped for a sunset at the Guntersville State Park Lodge. Along the our journey we found a really awesome pottery place close to Mentone. Can't wait to go back there again! The New Year was brought in with whoop and a jump off the porch along with some kinda 'doughy in the middle' New Year's cookies. And for lunch on the 1st we ate bowl fulls of corn bread and peas hoping to get the lucky dime! We said our good-byes and headed for the COLD north country on January 2. There were temperatures of -60*F! (That was actually the wind chill, but very brutal!) We drove thro freezing rain, and on glare ice but made it safely home on Saturday evening. Cam came back with us so now we've been doing all sorts of fun stuff with him! But I think this is long enough for now..... 'The Week W/ Cam' will have to come later!

Good - Night!
