Art Work

 Granddaughter #3 loves to draw and at 5 1/2 she's making progress.

Here are two of her masterpieces that I display.


Not sure who is depicted here, maybe a prince and a princess.


The one above from left to right depicts the artist, her sister who turns one next month, her mommy and her daddy.  The family used this as their Christmas card this year.

Our Snow Measuring Device

 

I think we got 18 inches judging by the picnic table - our snow measuring device.



And look at our snow pile from the plowing of the driveway.  

More snow coming tomorrow sometime.

Continuation from last Tuesday

 More from the 50s, 60s, and 70s.

My friend and I would ride our bikes everywhere.  Probably farther away than my parents knew.


 Or this?
How many of you broke an arm doing this?  I didn't but my older sister did.


These were no longer in use when I started teaching 4th grade in the 90s.


Loved this game.  

More to come next week.

Sunday Drive Home

 We had snow on Friday and usually the wind or rising temperatures makes the snow disappear from the trees.  This time this has not been the case.  All the snow we have is like frosting on the trees and bushes.

I took this set of photos on our ride back from church on Sunday after lunching at Panera.









Tom, I did capture a barn!

Below almost home.  Our road gets sanded, never salted.
