Aunt G is 80 years young 
and oh what a gem.
She jumped on that machine
and took off like a rocket!
I could barely keep up with her
let alone take the lead every once in a while.
We sat around the campfire on
her son's property and had
pizza and meatball sandwiches
delivered right to the pond.
"Just turn right and keep on driving
between the corn fields, you'll find us."
 Seriously!!
Here she is relaxing just to catch her second wind.
She stayed awake to help us clean mushrooms
until 1:00 a.m. although we told her
it wasn't necessary - she still insisted.
She's just that kind of gal.
and who wouldn't love a gal like that?!

Roses mid Winter

I'm longing for winter to be over. As much as I love the change of seasons, once January hits I start looking forward to spring. Last year we planted roses and I'm so anxious to see how well they'll handle our winters here in Upper Michigan.  We insulated them with maple leaves in chicken wire cages. So hopefully our following directions will pay off so we can enjoy their beauty year after year. .
