Happy New Year!

We hope that everyone had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year! The past week has been filed with visits for friends, some shopping for deals and most of all just getting ready for 2008. If 2008 is anything like 2007 it should be a great year.

Smile you two.

Thanks Steve for the art.

On The Ice!

Can you believe it, for the second year in a row the ice fishing season has started before Christmas. So how much do we have? Eight inches, that is twice the amount that we had last year at this time.

So for the next two weeks, I will be spending time in quite solitude in my little green ice fishing hut. Nothing could be better!

This Blue Gill was fun, along with the rest of his buddies today.


Ever come eye to eye with a Northern? This was the view from my underwater video camera. And no, I did not catch him. He was more interested in the camera then my lure.

That Time of Year

It's that time of year. The blue door has been decorated and lit. The spruce tips have replaced the flowers and the Christmas party season is in full swing. Last weeks party at our home was delayed from Saturday until Sunday, due to the snow storm. The group was small (about 20) but it was still fun. This past weekend was Kim's work party.

As you can see winter is here and it looks to stay. The temp has not gotten above 25 degrees in almost three weeks. Most of the lakes are solid now, so it is only time before ice fishing season starts.

Black and White Christmas

Even a Cardinal was having a bad hair day, as this one did during last weekends snow storm.

Now on to the Black and White Chrismas. And yes it is true, that this year the house is decorated in black and white. At first we thought it was going to be hard to do, but the more we looked around, the more items we found and the more we liked the idea.

And yes, it looks like winter is here to stay. The snow keeps and the lake have ice!
