10 Below Zero

Thanksgiving 2010

Our 26-pound fresh turkey cooked in just three hours!
We sampled a Belgian Beer called Delirium Tremens. Chunks included! Not my favorite.
Mason made una casa de Uno!
And the boys stood next to one another for about 10 seconds so I could take this photo. That is our Thanksgiving in photos!

Winter Settles In

The cold air has arrived, and the snow decided to stick around this time. I think winter is here for good. So, it's time for a little attitude change on my part, or this will be a really long season!

Fall

Tired of Lilli? Take a Look at her Big Sister!

I couldn't believe it when I walked into the furniture store last week. I think I need it for my craftroom!

Lilli is Here

I celebrated my birthday while we were in Boston last month, and on that day, I went into the 1154 Lill Studio store. There, I created this custom bag (well, truth be told, Mason & even Paul helped me quite a bit). It's called "The Lilli", and she arrived today. I've already decided the store needs to put little metal feet on the bottom of their bags because I'm afraid this bag won't stay this color for long!

Musky Hunter

Mason caught his first musky today!

32" and around 10 pounds, near Hayward, WI.

Tall Ships in Duluth

Nine tall ships were in Duluth this past weekend. As you can imagine, thousands of people visited the city to see the vessels, but we were not among them. We waited until today. All the ships were still there...without the huge crowds! (actually, one of the ships was out with passengers when we visited, so we didn't get to see the Bounty)

These are a few of my favorite shots, the one above is a family portrait. If you look close, Calvin, Paul and I are in Mason's sunglasses!
I took a few shots of the gulls, hoping I could get one focused shot of the bird in flight. I like how this one turned out.
This is the Roseway. There was a nice story in the paper yesterday about this ship and a 90 year old grandma from Wabasha. Click here if you'd like to read it.
And this is the Niagara. Enjoy!
