Greetings and HURRY HERE Springtime!  The days are warming: We were up north at Emily's wedding this weekend and the ice is still out there.  We even went out CC skiing on Island Lake but all it proved was how out of shape I was.  I am heading for the treadmill I promise ME! (Meg has the right idea, i.e., 30 day challenges.)

The wedding was gorgeous too... all 7 attendants wore floor length black satin A-line gowns.  I thought it was beautiful.  Ron was the best host ever.  He won "Barb Brownie Points" cuz he just did everything and I didn't asked.  I didn't ask him to pour "Dawn" in the dishwasher... I even forgave him as I fixed the sudsy situation.  "Downy" fabric softeners KILLS soap bubbles.

I want to take a picture of my closet cuz I cleaned it and it looks "live able"again.  Yes, I guess it is OUR closet but frankly I organized it and Ron did help put it back together. Funny how sometimes the little things get you all hyped up. (Lookin'  Good...Ron and the closet too)

And I brought some "didn't look so good here" art work to Duluth and all got hung.  (Ron  Again!)  Now I can find new frames for the living room.  I am going MODERN.  I have my eyes on the Wisconsin Rapids Bridge, Ron's Family Homestead here in Biron and St. P& P Church.   A real work in progress.  And I moved out all the living room furniture cuz I just needed to follow the modern theme.  Presently Ron is a bit confused.  He likes things to "stay the same".  If I want to make him crazy, I move his books...imagine what this does to his pschy when I "start all over".

Greg had a birthday this Saturday.  He is 32!  His BD found him in Minneapolis with dinner plans at Babetts for a birthday dinner a' la girlfriend.  I think she sent him the airfare.  I would venture to guess this is the one: and I am not speaking of the restaurant.  But then what do moms know?

Did you read about MEG AND GRETCHEN (JOSH TOO) SKIING THE BLACK FOREST?  I think it may beat CC on Island Lake but then what do I know.  I love being Up North and it had been quite a while for us. And Meg brought her two dogs LC and Tyson to Germany and she didn't want to leave them home alone so I am glad she got to go skiing.  As far as I know all went fine.

Had to watch the Olympic Gold Medal Hockey game and I think it is appropriate the Canadians won Gold!  Just seemed it was the perfect ending to hosting.  I will miss the Olympics and Ron won't miss the figure skating in any shape, size or form.

And today on Oprah Ron's old partner (radiation oncologist) in Rapids was on with his tortoises as part of The Marriage Ref. This simply means he wasn't interesting enuf with 5 huge tortoises pooping in his house (which gives a new definition to Horse Apples under the Christmas tree) to make prime time. Proves there is life after leaving here! I wonder how Oprah found him when no one here ever could.  And I wonder two things:
1.) Who will ever buy a 700k home with turtle poop everywhere and/or 2.) Since he realized at a very early age these turtle were susceptible to sarcomas...did he ever bring his pets to work?  Gross.
