Just a beautiful day!   Weeks of below zero must make the 40’s feel so good.    We were in Milwaukee this morning and it was above 50.  A well deserved break for all of us.    A little cooler tomorrow but still above freezing.  The ice is clearing off the driveway and roads, this is much better.

We went out with friends Dick and Carol last night in Greendale.  It was a very nice night and I had a great fish fry at Ricardo’s.  Today did some shopping for Mom and a couple of little things before we left.  She is doing well.  Getting ready for her 88th birthday in a couple of weeks.

Got home and did some things outside until the sun went down.   Brought some firewood up,  knocked down some snow piles. Chris was getting stones out of the snowpile before they melt into the garden.  I loaded some pictures into a new album on the album page.

And there is Chris with her new car.  So far I think we are both very happy.  We took it to Milwaukee and it has a nice ride, and the nice radio is a plus!

And I moved my ice shanty down the breakwall and onto the ice.  Tomorrow I’ll try to pull it out away from the shoreline.  There is still a fair amount of snow close in.  I am hoping the ATV will get it moving.  Then I hope to do some fishing this month! The ice will clear off the next few days with the warm weather,  but then we will be back to normal!    I need to try the ice drills and see if they start.  I believe there is a lot of ice out there.

So we hope everything is good for everyone.  Even Craig in Minneapolis should be getting a weather break.

Enjoy
