And yes they are. Just doing the thing called life as luckily, nothing of real note going on around here. I'm guessing that the real snows of winter '07 - '08 are finished. The temps have been up to the right at 40's in the day and around 32 at night. We've had some periods of rain and even some sunny days so we just worry that it will go warm fast instead of gradually which would cause a good deal of flooding in our area as well as guaranteed flooding in our basement room. There are still mountains of snow piled up all over the north end of the state. Although its starting to 'disappear' there are places around the house that are still four feet deep with snow.
Other things to update.
Laura's information from her husbands family in Las Vegas to her family in Iowa was a little off. But in the big picture of life one isn't that much better than the other, she'd had a mild stroke, not a heart attack as Laura, and we, had been told. Like I said though, it just indicates there are problems that need to be dealt with or it could become the reported condition! Or worse!
Sandy and Erik are by now in Germany. We hope they have a great time! I wish I'd remembered to ask her about checking on a CD of Alpenhorn Music!
Okay, so how would I want to hear that kind of music? Well, back in 1993 we were on a family motorcycle trip that went to Lake Louise in Banff Canada. It was our first visit there but Stacy had been there as a kid and had nothing but good memories of that trip, so we decided to stop there on this 1993 trip. As we were walking around the grounds of the hotel there was an Alpenhorn player set up that was playing towards the glacier. It was very impressive to hear the echoing of the horn in the area of the lake. How do I remember it so well? I recently watched the video I'd taken there in '93!
We want to say our congratulations to cousin Dwight for soon to be graduating with his Masters Degree!
This was the week that both of us slipped and fell on the ice. We'd hoped that we'd gone through enough of the snow and ice that we'd not 'crash'. Well, Stacy was first when she slipped and banged up her knee when walking across a parking lot. Then yesterday I took my tumble when, while driving a bus taking the high school Choir around the area for singing valentines, at one stop the bus got stuck. It was a steep downhill incline and while I made it up without any problem, on the way down at a turn the bus slid wide and into one of the snow banks. As I went to spread some kitty litter for traction by the back wheels, on the way back, slip-boom on the backside and right arm. Nothing broken on me or Stacy, just scrapes and bruises.
We'll try again for no falls next years winter!
I guess enough rambling for this update. Type later, Tad
