Happy Halloween

Its that time again!!!So hope its a great one for everyone.
Its been cold here - degrees and the river is freezing up getting ready for the snow-machines to rumble. Pa took the snow-machine down the back trail (on land) today to check the river a little farther down to see how the river was freezing up. He can see a long way from top of the hill and by that can see where the river is freezing first. One of those guy things.
Me,!,Well have been walking and just doing things in the house. Sent 3 boxes to Iraq for service men and women. things they can use to help make their day better. I hope.
My grandson leaves for boot camp in 14 days. . He has grown into a fine young man . Makes a Grandma so very proud.
Time to hit the hot tub and soak away the old aches and pains of winter.Tonight -10 degree outside and 102 degree in the tub makes a nice mix..

Snow-snow

This wonderful man tries to lift my winter blues. The flowers are beautiful looking out to the snow falling. It has snowed all day today. I did some beading. I peeled on a piece of diamond willow. and that has about took the whole day I guess I could say daylight to dark. which is getting shorter every day. I need to go for a walk so its bundle up time and go for it.

Monday

Was a beautiful sunny cold 12 degree day. Have snow but not enough to snow-machine yet. No backing out of winter now its here. Our electricity was off for about 4 hours last night since we are at the end of the line that seems to happen quite often. No hot tub last night. but its ready tonight

Snow

Well it did it-snowed 3 inches last night. guess we are headed into winter.

Home

Arrived home after 20 days of running around visiting. Seems I was in the car more than I was resting. I visited my daughter and grandchildren, then on to see my sisters, than on to see my son and grand-daughter and than back down and around to stay with my daughter for a few more days. -trying to get some rest. The weather was HOT altho I was not out in it as I was in the A/C car and A/C house or A/C Casino, The Casino (boat) was a Birthday gift from my Son to me a wonderful dinner and Casino evening. It was fun. and very enjoyable to eat, talk, cry and laugh. My daughter and I spent evenings talking and laughing and usually cooking and picking up after the two little ones and seeing the teen once in a while when she emerged out of her room.
It was a nice 20 days. My little sis was my driver so we spent a lot of time laughing and talking. (with a bit of good wine) We did stop at another Casino and left four dollars with them. I'm a big gambler.
I got home in time for the second frost and finished up my garden and putting outside stuff away for winter. Don't know if I am ready for another winter here. Mexico sounds so nice.. BUT>>>>>>the snow-machine engines are ready to hit the trails.
Just talked to a friend--Charlie the Bear Man said it snowed at his Lake today..thats just a few miles away.. Am I ready for this?
