Wow, I can't believe that January is over! The first month of the New Year, it started out with a great freeze. -17 degrees on New Years Eve! I've never experienced that type of cold. I couldn't believe how bad my fingers and toes felt even though I had them in thermal boots and gloves. I was only out in the cold for 10 minutes to get my dog and Wow, the cold had a bite to it. January was very busy. Ben and Robert went to the Klondike camp out. It was cold but, they were prepared and did well. We enjoyed the day off in the middle of the month for Martin Luther King day. It was nice to have a break. We had some really nice snow storms and a lot of fun sledding. Ann really enjoyed the sledding. Our animals are doing well even though it has been the coldest winter since we moved here. I learned what it was like to fall down the stairs, when I tried to walk on ice. It hurt real bad, but I am better now. I always check for Ice now! We are excited about February, hoping Michael will finish his Eagle project soon!
