wassup?

February has been a long 28 days.  If it's not snowing,

it brittle sunshine.  Photos below were taken from our

yard after Feb. 20 snow.  Note how deep the snow is

and how the snow has stuck to the trees.

Looks pretty.....in December.

We celebrated Ami and Scott's combined 40th

birthday at Billy's on Grand on Feb. 15.  Ami's

birthday is in Feb. and Scott's will be in April.

Ami arranged to reunited Scott's old band, Crosswalk Hero,

for a one-time concert.  It looked like they were having

fun and they sounded great.

Then...it snowed again.

Trying to find indoor things to do....

Everleigh made some finger puppets.

The boys find individual fun.

And Mieska family members celebrated my grandma's

114th birthday at Southdale.  Grandma died in 1998 at

the age of 98 but we get together every March (around the 6th)

to celebrate her life and our Mieska family.

Here are my sisters, Ann and Sue, my cousin Rynda,

Aunt Phyllis (dad's sister) and cousin Jay.  It's a tradition

so sweet we've decided to also get together in

August to celebrate Grandpa's birthday.  He

was born in 1891 and died in 1990 (?).

now.....bring on spring!
