LIFE AS IT IS TODAY

Sister, Jean, and husband, Paul, just left for Wausau for the antique/flea market sale at D.C.Everest High School - for the day today and 8 hours tomorrow. We had a good time last evening playing euchre (Jean was relearning after realizing she hadn't played since college days). Our cards followed a SUPERB meal by chef Karol:  fried fish (blue gills), corn casserole, coleslaw, Hassenbach potatoes, and applesauce cake with caramel frosting for dessert. Yum!

Watch the video:    WALK WITH ME DOWN OUR DRIVEWAY
(The artist I tried to remember in the video is Thomas Kinkaid)
A look out of our kitchen window. This is also where we spend time watching the many birds who come to our feeders.

While I was outside, Karol stayed inside to read to Isaac and Caleb via Skype (I think Matthew enjoyed the story too!)

I was intrigued by the shadow of the end logs on our home providing an interesting pattern on the smooth snow.


We still live on Highway 66 (not the famous 66 that traverses the U.S., but a short state highway in Wisconsin.

One of the many pine siskins visiting us this winter. We really hate to feed them because they are so susceptible to salmonella.

A neighboring homestead provides a good photo op.

The trees become the framework for frozen moisture.

Again this morning, Karol and I expressed thanks to God for the wonder of our home. We are so appreciate of this blessing of a "homey" home!

Believe it or not, in less than three months, we will again be able to fish off of the pier in our little "half acre lake."
