It was good to hear from you, Nancy and Garry. You will be busy today and Sun. with the boiling. It was - 15 below this a.m. Still not much above zero. Tamie and Steve are off to Sedona, Ariz. today. Steve is going out for some educational schooling for his work. LUCKY !! Tamie said it is to be in the 80's there Sun. Steve Grotnes was plowing snow this a.m. He is having some trouble with his plow again. Laurie went to Fargo today, and Kjirsten, to look for a prom dress. I've been working on the laundry for the cabins, bedspreads, blankets & mattress covers. Four big pieces per bed; so about 80 items. It takes me about six weeks to get it all done.
I hope your syrup season is a good one and that you get much syrup this year. Lots of work !!
I dont know what Sara is doing today; I cant reach her. Suppose she is out running around with Chris. She needs a new vehicle, so maybe they are doing that.
hi there! thanks for the sugar camp update! I remember last year we were there for a late Easter lunch in the sugarhouse. that was yummy! I am glad my kids have gotten to experience that with you. Keep it up! I know it must be A LOT of work.
by the way, mother, i was not out 'running around' with chris. We were at his house being sedentary, cuddling with his kids and he was making supper. I am on-call for work this weekend. and i didn't get a new vehicle yet. gonna look in fargo next weekend. Maybe Sunny can come stay at your house while we go to fargo?
Hey Sara, I either never asked or just didn't hear, how old are Chris' kids?
