Lisa makes an angel


Today it is -12but it is beautiful.

The first picture is a cabin here at SMR, the second picture is Hopi campground with the continental divide in the background. The rest are the "perfect" snow angel!!!!

Today Terry and I went walking all over the place and we went ICE SKATING. Believe it or not, no broken bones to report. We were going to cross country ski, but there was not instructors. And yes, we did let go of the rails when we were ice skating, and NO FALLS!!!!

Tonight SWIM AREOBICS for me. Last night when I left the swimming pool and walked to the truck my hair froze - for real.

-12 is like -27. But, it is so much fun.

Love,

Lisa

P.S. we saw a fox today basking in the sun, but, by the time I turned on the camera he disappeared into his hole. but, I will be presistent and get a picture of him to send.

Here is Butch!!

This is Butch on the webcam at SMR. He called me and told me he was in the area and I had to keep watching. It takes a new picture every 5 minutes and it takes awhile before it shows up on the website. Looks like a beautiful day at SMR.

Shipley's Fish Fry

Sunday before Butch left we went to Bert and Wayne Shipley's annual fish fry. Everything was very delicious and you can see that the Brooker's were clustered up and laughing. Pictured are Bill, Bernard, Mark, Marlene and Jo.

Butch is here...

This is a webcam shot from yesterday and this is where Butch is staying. If you would like to see webcam shots from there click on the link on the right.

For the checkers

I know I am behind! I have pictures to post and things to tell you so check in later today for this morning I am going biking and when I get back I am making the Crockpot Tequila Pie for supper so after that perhaps I can get caught up with the blogs.
Later!!

Hectic Day

The new park directories went on sale today so I had to be up at the hall early before coffee time to sell them. Then being a member of Warblers singing group I was scheduled to sing at 9:30 when coffee hour started. Then there were last minute sales before leaving for the golf course that I am now in charge of since Butch is in Colorado. Shot a 38 for 9 holes ...the best score I have had this year. Came home... took a twenty minute nap ...went to the neighbors for a small gathering ...drank a Bailey's...came home and burnt my supper. Too much Bailey's!! Sitting here sweating...probably from the Baileys but then it is still 76 degrees tonight. Jason called earlier from Boone IA and told me to go outside and face north and blow. Hovering around zero up there.
Butch called too. He said he had made it to Snow Mountain Ranch and was getting settled into his room. Lucky guy! So far he doesn't have any roommates. That could change at any time though. He said he was puffing pretty good going up three flights of stairs to his room. Altitude.
That is it for now. I am ready to take a break and let the Bailey's wear off!

Animal Rescue

Sister Myrla does animal rescue. Her "new" cat named Church has it better than he used to!
Hewy loves Church by the way.

Churches hut has layers of blankets and plastic.
