Joe's Birthday

This Friday we both took a day off and enjoyed a few of our favorites around town. It was also Joe's youngest brother Mark's birthday, so we celebrated together over dinner and candle lit bread pudding.

Somehow earlier in the day Joe ended up getting us furniture at an antique shop on his birthday. We had been looking for a bit more grown up piece to replace our $20 bookcase. 

It happened to come in two pieces, so the other piece replaced our stacked antique wooden crates as bookcases in the living room. We totally forgot to take "before" pictures... 

The weather this weekend was not spring-like. Hard to believe just previous weekend we were walking on the lakeshore in the 60 degrees temperature in Ironwood.

We woke up to about 5 inches of wet snow Sunday morning. Well, its still March....

Goodbye Hair!

So it's been a year with Covid. Also a year since I needed a haircut. Most definitely my hair was the longest, about 3 years worth. Plenty enough for a donation to Locks of Love.

What a weight loss off my neck and shoulders! 

Glimpses of Spring

After the last post, it didn't take much time for the ice in Lower Harbor to break and be blown and gone. Depending on the wind directions, ice pieces come and disappear. This weekend we found them at our favorite lake shore. But this meant the wind off the ice packed lake was not so tolerable. So we walked in the woods to stay warm. 

Still, days have gotten longer, and the sunshine more intense. Spring is somewhere around the corner.... March 3rd, Girls Day in Japan, has come and gone. We celebrated with sushi and special sake. We are ready for Spring!
