Easter and the Eggs

We went sailing with all the kids except Madison...you know those college kids...can't come home every weekend!

We had lots of fun even tho it was a bit cold on the water.

early morning

Aren't potato chips great, mom?

Madison and Lauri...
I had fun going to Conway to see Madison at UCA and having tea with the sorority girls...

Mother, Daughter, and Grandmother at the Sigma Sigma Sigma Mother / daughter Tea Pary

We had a great work day and finished the stripes and name placement! We are ready for the water...if it would just rain and refill the lake!

We finally named the Boat



We ordered the name for the sides, so it's final...we don't have to blurt out names/slogans of strange words or interesting ideas...it's all settled, and paid for...so ... why not...

Down the Hill...

Beautiful day...just very slick to drive in...

Jackson sledding in the ice/snow!

I just looked thru our blog...I didn't realize that I don't have a picture of the boat...it's almost done. Warm weather will allow us to paint the stripe on the side and put the name on...then into the water to sail. We went sailing on New Year's Day with a friend...cold but very exciting and invigorating.

Ice Storm!
