Nathan decided to try skiing again this year mostly because the resort has replaced the old style tow rope with the new Magic Carpet shown above. From what I hear, it’s WONDERFUL! Perhaps I should even give skiing another try! Our friend Stacie helped Nathan for an hour or so …

DeEtta from Chosing Joy tagged me for the following fun photo activity. I had to improvise a little bit since my folders are all in files so I started with the 4th file then the 4th folder and 4th picture. 1. Choose the 4th folder where you store pictures on …

Nathan’s little kitten, Whitey, has gone missing this winter. She has been gone since a week or so before Christmas. Nathan is still holding out hope that she might return, but I have my doubts since it’s been extremely (as in below zero most of the time) cold since we …
