Grapefruit Wine


One of Stan's Christmas gifts was a winemaking kit and here is the first "fruit" of our endeavor -- grapefruit wine. It should be ready on or about Mother's Day.

Special Birthday



Today is our baby Barbe's birthday (then and now)!

Snowmobiling in the UP


We just returned from another wonderful week of snowmobiling in the Curtis area (in the eastern part of the UP). Stan made some adjustments to my sled so that it handles much better. We took a number of day trips including a 150 mile round trip to Grand Marais. My favorite trip was to Tahquamenon Falls. The trail between Newberry and Tahquamenon was straight and smooth. I was even persuaded to snowmobile across Big Manistique Lake!
