Easter Weekend

Had a good time starting with my Thursday birthday that the CA. daughter and grandson came to Beaver Dam for. It was the longest birthday celebration I ever had. Had to share some of it with granddaughter, Taylor, who turns 8. Sara and Saul enjoyed the snow which set a new season record of 103.3 inches for B.D. Here's some visual aids.

Saul checking out his first ( I think) snow. Not too exciting yet at 20 months.


Sat. afternoon was swimming at the Y. Here's Taylor taking the plunge.

Birthday/Easter Cake

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr !

Snow coming tonight which will set a new record for total snow for a season. Current record is 76". Snow coming should put us close to 80". All with the temp running 0 to -10 the last few days. Spent a long weekend in Kenosha helping the Suttons remodel their "new" old house. Complete kitchen gutting and lots of floor sanding and wall painting. A friend was there installing tile in the kitchen and other areas. Gregs brother and wife were there helping too. Seven of us slept in their little apt. And Jake. See Kates' blog for pictures.

Had a good Christmas this year. Didn't have to plow/shovel snow with a couple of nice days after a couple of days of 40 mph wind and snow.
