Outdoor Activity

We had high hopes of having a great winter with lots of outdoor activities.  We had nearly three feet of snow on the ground early in December, but since then the temperatures have barely made it above zero.  Today’s high was -4 F.  We did have a couple of days at the end of last week that made it to 30 degrees…above zero!  We took the opportunity to play fetch with Daphne, sled in our backyard and clean the snow off our deck.

We spent New Year’s Eve at the movies, followed by dinner at Famous Dave’s restaurant – an annual tradition for us.

Happy New Year!
New Braces!

Warm wishes for the days ahead and hopes for some outdoor time skiing and skating. Happy New Year!
