Well, Christmas is right around the corner again, now if we could just get a little snow!!!
Not too much happening this week, I have been off work since Thanksgiving,
resting up for the coming weekend.
I will become the proud parent of three children for four days!
Wish me luck!
I am sure it will be a blast, as usual. The Lemke's love me,
we have alot of fun together. On saturday, Megan and I plan on getting them out of the house and going to the Childrens Museum for the day.
Watch for next weeks update, I am sure there will be some
adventures to tell you all about.

Home again....

So I arrived home yesterday to find my pool had yet another victim. Before I left town I had scooped three more squirrels out. This is what I found ...I can't even feel bad for them anymore...I am up to 25 victims.
Meanwhile in the front yard....A couple of survivors are having a grand old time in the Maple tree.
Wait, what's this....Do we have a jumper????

I said I wanted some pics of snow....

Well I said I wanted some snow to take pictures of...I went to Elbow Lake to get them!
How cold does this picture look? Don't worry we will have this here before we know it.
I spent a long weekend at the cabin with both of my brothers, and Theresa. They had been there for a week already, deer hunting. Dad had been there too, but passed me on the road near Willow River on his way home Thursday.
I got to Cook and went around town in search of Grandma and Grandpa. They were out running wild. Found them on their way home, and had a little visit. Then headed for the lake.
I had brought spaghetti for the gang but they all rioted against that (something about already eating it for 3 days), so I took them for burgers at the Landing. We had fun just hanging out and watching movies.

Friday they all slept in instead of going out to look for BOB (the buck). We all went out Friday afternoon though. No BOB, but if I had a gun we could of had some grouse. Back at the cabin, Theresa started a fire in the sauna, and then we headed to the Landing for Walleye. MMMM, good!!! We all then had showers in the hot! Sauna,
no one jumped in the lake though, and called it a night.
I tried to go to town on Sat to check on G & G, had a slight problem getting out of the driveway, Matthew and Theresa helped. Got to town finally, Grandpa was sick with a bad cold and cough. I went to the drug store and liquor store for some "medicine" for him. Then Grandma and I stopped at the craft show across the street at the church, didn't buy anything, but Gram could make some cash with her washrags.
Back at the cabin, Chase climbed a tree, the dock got hauled in and the roof off the screen porch, and they let me make spaghetti.
Sunday morning we all packed up and called it a week. Chase loaded Frank

and the deer in the back of the truck, Matthew and Theresa headed for home via Duluth. And Brutus and I had to be the first ones up the road.

Some pictures from around the neighborhood.

Brutus and I have been enjoying our walks around the 'hood these last couple of weeks. Everything is changing so fast. Winter is on the way. I have really started to need to bundle up, hat and mittens. Brutus has even had to wear his coat a couple of times. I am looking
forward to being able to take
a few pictures of snow
on the ground.

Boo, Halloween is over!

I am so bummed to see Halloween go by so fast. But it was another great year. The night started at the Lemke's for some sloppy joes, and then the trick-or-treating. Talk about a bunch of cute kids.Thankfully it wasn't too cold, we were able to hit about 2 blocks of houses. Buzz Lightyear, aka. Sam, and Jesse, aka. Grace, were very exited to get their candy. And isn't that the cutest Woody you ever saw?
After the Trick-or-Treat shenanigans, I came home to meet up with a group of my friends for some mischief. We hit the town after warming up with the Boone's Farm. We all headed over to see Rock-it-science!!!
We had such a great time rocking to the 80's tunes and checking out the amazing costumes.
