The Kiss

It has been 27 years since the Bride and Groom have been seen together in one place, wait yes there was was a wedding to one of their daughters Courtney let me see if I can locate that picture of them it might be a video snipit of them dancing at Courtney and Andrew wedding reception. I took this clip at the reception while they were dancing and I do believe that I asked him (Kim) to give her a KISS (Laura) and I believed it happened it may be only on the cheek but it was a kiss nevertheless so enjoy the video clip. Yes I know that my sister would not like this published but we have to preserve history and this is what it was, history 27 years into the making of this couple. Time did them well.

from Mandi-and Me!

December Snow has arrived...

Well here you go we now can say we have offically have snow in Maine and its a little cold and windy. We got about 18inches of fresh powder snow. It was no fun using the snow blower when the wind kicked back and blew it back into your face not fun at all, but much better than hand shoveling way better than that. I took Mandi out and she got lost quick she had to keep jumping to see where she was going so I shoveled a little place for her to walk and have fun in the snow. Merry Christmas to all.

Saturday

well its still cold here in Maine, there is still some ice on the trees and I was wondering if the ice is ready for some ice skating because this little spot makes a nice little patch to do some skating. So who wants to join me all you need is; mittens, scarf, hat, coat, and some ice skates...oh and when you go back into the house some nice hot chocolate...who's game... mandi is going how about you?

Snow 2008

Well it finally came the first snow of the year Nov 30th Jared's birthday what a treat that is. In this picture I got Mandi checking it out and I wonder what she is thinking. The snow flakes have arrived we only got one inch but we GOT SNOW in MAINE... its enough to make a snowball and not really enough for a snowman yet. I hope it stays long enough for me to take a few pictures in the morning for to see the snow on the trees now that is pretty. Maybe not much but it can look quite nice. I wish joy to everyone this winter this year, may your snow be plentiful and that you all get to make snowmen. I think Mandi and I will check out the snow more in the morning.
