This one was either eating the grass that got stuck on the anchor rope or rubbing his tummy on it😳

Spent a little time at the beach Monday. There is enough ice to walk on near the shore. Aiden had fun trying to catch a very small fish.

Our grandsons last year in elementary school. Each class sang two songs this year.

The busy packing season is slowing down at work. I got home earlier enough Saturday for my honey to take me out for dinner 😋

My annual downtown TC shopping with my besties 💝
It was a beautiful day/evening downtown. Mild temps, occasional light snow ❄️ fall and lots of laughs!
We’ve been doing this for at least 25 years, maybe more 🤔
All 8 of us gathered yesterday 🥰 usually at least one can’t make it. My bestie, Becky Miller, however lives in Colorado now. Missed you Becky!
🎶 Oh what fun it is to hang with my friends 🎶

It’s like the old days around here this year. It started snowing ❄️ Thanksgiving Day and hasn’t stopped. Schools have been closed all week. These pics are from Wednesday. It has snowed all night so it’s piled up even more. We’ll s👀 when it gets daylight.
Of course inland has gotten way more snow than us being close to the big lake.
Some areas are up to 4’😳
I’ve been making my way to Cherry 🍒 Republic everyday but grandpa has been with Aiden enjoying the snow days ⛄️
And there’s enough snow ❄️ for the kids to ride snowmobiles after work.
