Tuesday, No School -17 Degrees This Morning

Two days in a row out of school. What could be better. I'm just catching everyone up on what we're doing. the blizzard Sunday and Monday left a mess outside yesterday. The fields look like a frozen white sea. Alan got up very early and blew snow for us, Kris, Kent, the Connors, our L neighbor, and a few others so we could all get to the funeral at 10:00. It was a nice funeral for our close friend Kevin Egbert. We are sad that he is gone and at age 47 it was a real shock. He had a heart attack and his wife, Dawn(an R.N.), could not revive him. Then the deep freeze really came. This morning we read all the schools who were not holding classes today. I can't think of one school from American Falls north to us and from Teton to Challis that went to school today. Even the senior citizens meals on wheels got cancelled today. I went to a relief society meeting this am and by the time I had run frommy car to the church my nose and the boogers were frozen. BRRRRR. The young men are going to the temple open house tonight so Alan is going with them. I'm going VTing from 5 - 7 and then I have the book activity group at our house tonight. I made some good treats for it, but I wonder if anyone will come. Today I practiced tennis on the wii. I'm now at about 1600. Yes, I've gone pro - but it's getting harder and harder to get a win from these miis. We are enjoying everyone's blog. Keep doing it, it helps the winter blues I get from really setting in. I think I have a little cabin fever and need to go to a warmer climate. Does anyone have airline tickets to Hawaii they would like to give me? That's All for Now folks.

We are coming prepared for cold, but is there any chance of it warming up? It will be reminiscent of Finland when we were out in -30C. We thought we were having a heat wave when it warmed up to -25C! Look forward to seeing you on Sunday!!! (I really need the break)

How can we compete with that. Midvale had 13 inches this week. My dad spent all day out shoveling snow. We have a snow blower, but I think he enjoyed the work. I asked him if he was ready to move to Utah, he got a good laugh.

Great pictures! Do your tv stations up there have something on the net where you can post your pictures or send them in and then they put them on the news like channel 5 does down here. I was thinking those sunrise pictures would be great to send in. They look like they should be in a calendar or something. That sunrise looks like it was a sunset it is so impressive
