....and the fog lifts!



Steam coming off a stump.


Pretty amazing what that does for us....a walk in the woods behind our house with camera in tow was a tonic I needed. And it was much cheaper than a trip to Arizona. Terry cut down a tree and chopped wood for his tonic~ Ahhh...life is good in the NW........

Snow --and then comes the flood of '09

Our normal route into Mt Vernon/Burlington--Swan road....hmmm, guess we'll go around.

Our view--Clear Lake usually ends at the dark line in the middle of the new "lake".

Snitched this photo from our friend Carolyn J. also from E. Montana~~loved it! It generated lots of comments on Facebook. Many of us are related to this photo!

Special friends--the Boyd boys (and their parents)!

Oh--who gets to put in the final jigsaw piece???

Good times, good food, regaling stories (by Wayne) on New Years. Gretchen made lava cakes (deelishus!) and Troy is proceeding to share the whip cream with the lava cakes and anything close by!~~it's already been wiped off his shirt in this picture :o)
Gretchen heads back to CA but one final coffee stop before she catches her plane.


misc. photos --out of order as you can see! These from Sunday, the 28th...family dinner here.
Games and good family times..Jacqueline and Gretchen were a "team".

Last year we enjoyed a Canadian custom of "crackers". Well, it may not be their custom but we sure enjoyed it at Ang's parents..so we adopted it~~
