Today’s high?…A new low.

That’s right folks…
ONE BELOW will be the high for today.
And again, I know what your thinking…
“Sue, why do you live there?”
My answer is “Why do folks live ANYwhere!?
No matter where you go there’s heat, humidity,
wind, cold, rain, pollution, tornadoes, earthquakes,
and the list goes on…right? Pick your poison.

It’s just that when you wake up an they tell you
that it’s 14 below zero with a 30 below windchill
it makes you stop and re-plan the events of the
day to NOT going down to lake Nokomis and
photographing the Pond Hockey Championships!

I am, however, going to Mike & Kindra’s to take
some belly shots later this morning.
Oh, I need to inform everyone that when I got
the call from Kindra the other day saying that
I did not need to come that evening (of the dr. apt.)
to do belly photos i mistook that for Reese having
turned on her own. She hasn’t.
Rather than manually turning her right now the
Dr. wants to give her another week and in the
meantime, Kindra will do all things in her power
to encourage the little darling to turn on her own.
So, keep them in your prayers in the coming weeks.
I’ll post some photos tomorrow.

Gary’s PT is going well. He has 3 more next week
and if those can reduce the tingling & numbness
in his left arm & hand there will be an 80%
chance of a full recovery of the disc….more prayers!

Today is Nicki’s birthday, we are going to gather
at their home tomorrow evening.
In the meantime, by brother Tim is having a
“Frozen Pizza Party” for the Packers tomorrow.
We’re supposed to bring a frozen pizza and
watch the Ice Bowl in Green Bay…silly Tim.

I wonder if anyone will go to the Chambers
hotel in Minneapolis and watch the game in their
Ice Bar!?!

Word of the day?

INDOORS

Christmas 2007…in the can.

well, it’s really more of a “film” term
than a literal meaning…in that our
Christmas was really wonderful and we
topped it off with a little Christmas
fire last night. it was just gorgeous
out last night. calm, quiet, snowing
profusely…it was the perfect nightcap!
i hooked up my ipod and we sat and
listened to some classical music by the fire.
it was magical.
