Mr. Owl Pays a Visit
Mr. Owl stopped by this morning.
The bad squirrels wouldn't come down from the trees as long as Mr. Owl was here.
Do you see him?

Winter, Winter...GO AWAY!
The snow is this deep. Makita jumped off the trail and to demonstrate how deep it is. To top it off it's been below zero at one point during the day for about 90 percent of the last 10 WEEKS.

Bemidji Hockey
This past weekend we went up to Bemidji to a BSU hockey game. It was a lot of fun. Bemidji won.
Makita and Pat cheering on the Beavers.
Stella, Jen, Josh (guy from Brainerd we met up with at the game) and Josh's son Cole.
Stella and Pat cutting a rug at one of the local watering holes.
Not sure..but I think they're doing some kind of Captain Morgan impression.
Jello shots.....

Bought me some junk...
Last Sunday while on our way back from Minneapolis we went to a large antique store in Buffalo MN. I picked a milk box, a big bucket and RAY (he's the wagon). I love this junk.

Ice Fishing Extravaganza 2014
The Ice Fishing Extravaganza was a hoot. It was very very cold but still was fun. Josh, Makita (first time fisher), Mike and myself braved the elements of well below zero wind chills. We didn't get any fish but enjoyed the festivities.

Mike's 31st Birthday - Potato Dumplings (Klub)
Digging into his Norwegian heritage, Mike requested potato dumplings for his 31st birthday. I commissioned (at a very reasonable rate) Tonya to help. She peeled 20 pounds of potatoes.
And then she ground all 20 pounds of potatoes. Things went very well until she started grinding the onions. Then we had the water works.
There was a total of 16 of us for dinner. Tonya did an excellent job of helping with the dumplings and she made her first batch of popovers ever and they turned out perfect.
Mike had some help blowing out his candles. Good thing it was a rip roaring fire.

Weekend of Painting
I spent the weekend painting the upstairs hallway. The photo above is after. The photo below is before. Almost the entire upstairs was painted green (you can see it on the walls surrounding the hallway). Slowly but surely I'll be getting rid of that. The photo makes it look like the new paint looking white. It's actually a beige color.

Holipoluza 2013
We gathered up the kids and grandkids for Holipoluza on Friday December 20th. We went bowling for a couple hours, then moved the celebration to Irish Acres. Sadly Josh was out on the road and wasn't able to join us. :(
