Ice Skating Anyone?

On Sunday evening, when we had so much rain and into Monday, our barn lot was flooded and because there is still frost in the ground, the water has remained and has frozen.

When the grandkids were younger they looked forward to a flood in January, because that meant they could ice skate the rest of the winter and

us parents and grandparents didn't have to worry about them falling into deep water. We would always have a bonfire for the kids to keep warm by even roasted marshmallows. I think the kids hockey sticks and pucks are still in the little barn. Where there any greater times, than when the kids all gathered together to have a good time outside in the cold winter air?

Lou and I are looking forward to this weekend, as we are going to Shawn and Maegan's home and have a game afternoon and make our own pizzas for dinner. With the four little girls and grown grandchildren and kids, it will be a good time for all. There home is so large that no matter what you like to do there is room to spread out and do your own thing, from playing pool, computer games, exercising with WII, board games, and cuddling in front of the fire to read. We always come away with the warm fuzzy feeling of a great day.
