SNOW!!

I haven't had a snow day in forever! I think the last time I have seen snow was in 2004 when I went home to Michigan and vowed never ever again to return to Michigan in the dead of winter (due to the rather large snow storm I had encountered). Don't get me wrong, I like snow but living in it and visiting it are two different things. Our mission for today, was to take in some sledding with our nephew, Clayton and introduce our dog, Moses to snow.

Shaver Lake is about an hour away from the hubby's parents house. We loaded up the Rusca big truck with snow clothes and a sled and we took off on Tuesday morning on some twisty roads. Moses wasn't too fond of sitting in the back seat of the truck so he ended up sitting on my lap!! All 60 pounds of him!!

We arrived in Shaver Lake which immediately reminded me of the awesomeness of Big Bear. I saw all the cabins and thought it might be cool to rent one for a week one year. Hum. We will have to check into that later. Instead of going where the tourists were, my brother in law took us down an empty road. At the end we saw plenty of untouched snow. This was our destination.

For the next hour and a half we had fun sledding and watching Moses roll around in the snow. We all loved it! We made snow angels, ate snow and just had a good time. It was super fun! On the way home we stopped for burgers at the Hungry Hut and we even brought some snow back with us! Here are a couple of pictures.

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

The Lost Art of Letter Writing

This week I was the recepient of two postcards. In the age of e-mailing and blogging this is a rare occurrrance. It's not that people don't write anymore it's just they are doing it in different forms and I think in less personal forms. It's kinda sad when you think about it. For me, there is nothing better then getting a hand written letter in the mail because it means someone was specifically thinking about you. Writing a letter these days takes a lot of effort when GMail is so near. I mean a person has to pick out stationary (if they even have any on hand), find time to sit down and compose a letter (and who has a spare half hour these days?), find or buy a stamp and actually walk the letter to the mailbox. With all this effort, no wonder people email these days! My girlfriend Becky and I joke that the United States Postal Service has become "Snail Mail." Most times before a letter gets to us these days we already know the information inside ...
