Cold Days.....

Gosh....the past couple of days have been so cold...I have been burning wood like nobody's business, but it is nice and warm here at the old Lodge. Will I have gotten Paul's new toy all insured, licensed and ready to go and he is just like a little boy with a new toy...unreal! I ordered him a jacket and I had to order a 2XL as it is a Canadian size and it goes from XL to 2XL and he has had the hardest time with the size.....he has talked to everyone he has seen...he don't understand why I ordered a 2XL....I had to get mad at him last night so he would stop talking about it. He is wearing a 2XL snow pant right now.....but, I would not trade him for nothing...will maybe....hehehehe.....just kidding. He has bought more things for this sled than I have for a Christmas tree. I hope he enjoys laying under it......I don't even have a picture to show you and I would love to because it has become the jewel most talked about. Will I must say though he does not asked for much and whatever he gets it always looks like new so this will last us both a life time so we are going to enjoy while our ride and the trails and good friends and make the most out of the Maine winter as we can. Maine is where it happens.

Time to Update....Don't you think.....

Well here we are in a New Year...gosh, I hope it proves to be somewhat better than last. It has been since November since I have been on my blog...this is awful but allot has happened...first I lost my laptop and had to order a new one which as you all know takes time. Will when I say I lost my laptop it has so much stuff on it that it just had no more room....and it was so slow that snails was passing it...will it's not going to happen with this one...believe me, we have so much room it's unreal. I have so say I have missed updating on different things....a few snow storms and when I say a few it's just what I mean..few! Well...not only did I make a purchase but Paul did as well, he bought himself a new snowmobile....will new to him...2003 600EFI Pantera Articat and it is loaded...these things come now just like a car or small SUV it is unreal...and yes it is for 2 people...so I will be riding with him. It is dark cherry in color and it is very pretty or course right now it is all covered up and in the garage where it is warm...you know boys and toys. Will anyway this is something he has wanted for a very long time, actually since he sold his last one...so now my guy has his sled and is very happy and I am glad for him. We are now searching for a little sled for the kids (dogs) for the back....one that will be enclosed so they can come with us. We went to Lubec for Christmas went up on Christmas Eve day and came back the day after Christmas, was very nice as I have not been home in 5 or 6 years. I got to see all the big kids which is all my nephews and there wives except for Bradley's as Katie was sick. I seen my little great nieces and oh they are just so precious all 5 of them...I enjoy them so much, just don't see them enough but the girls keep me updated on Facebook so I am very pleased with that. Ryan is going to be moving to St. John this month for his job so it will be awhile before I get to see him. It was just so nice to see all my kids big and small I just love them all. We stayed with my sister Sherry over on Campobello Island and she lives right on the ocean and believe me it is cold allot colder there than here...the doors froze right up on my car even Chester made his trips outside quick...hehehehe..Sadie was very past as well. I do have to say she felt out of sorts with all the kids and adults around, just too many....she likes it very low keyed. Well, I think I have gotten updated on what I have been doing......I have not been scrapping, that is another story...got to get my office cleaned up. I have been stacking my kits up as they come in so that is a chore coming right up to get that in order and get back to scrapping.
