Back on the air

I have been experiencing technical difficulties with my computer, therefore, I haven't blogged for a while.  Sorry to my faithful followers.  But I am back on the air and have much to share.  First of all meet our new puppy, Tipsy.  We have had her for about 2 weeks, that means she is about 11 weeks old.  She is full of energy, loves chewing on EVERYTHING, and might think her name is NO.  Oh how we forget the puppy stage.  With the cold weather, we have let her in the house some... BL shampooed the carpet last week and now she sleeps in the garage.  She is a sweet little thing that is growing in our heart.

Saturday was Halfpint's last basketball game.  She is the blurry one on the right side with the ball.  She had a little trouble with turnovers last weekend, but all in all she has fun and their team has greatly improved.

Ice Fishing

Last weekend we went ice fishing.  Our fearless fisherman, Lincoln, drilled the holes and found the wax worms.  G. Suzy picked up some stellar, short poles.  We sat on the ice for a few hours and only caught a few fish.  The plan was to fry the fish we caught for a little Sunday afternoon fish fry.  Well, thank golly our fearless fisherman and his trusty side kick caught fish the weekend before.  We did enjoy eating their fish and, of course, good old family fun, but ice fisherman we are NOT!

Burn it!

It is never safe for me to watch the DIY channel.  I watched it almost one full day over break.  On one show, I watched someone burn a door with a torch to give it a rustic look, so guess what we did to this cabinet... burn baby burn!  I love the organization of my cookbooks in the before picture.
