Just in case you'd like to join us on ice...

...I thought I'd give you directions to our rink. :)

All you have to do is:

Drive through these corn stalks;

and follow this winding trail;

and you will soon be at our ice rink! Yes, it's that easy. :)

My brothers and I whizzed through house-cleaning today so that we could take advantage of the beautiful weather (20 degrees ABOVE zero!) and do some ice skating. We had to clear the ice off again, so we got a bit tuckered before we even started skating... This is what Andrew does when he's tired:

Jacob was very pleased to have made a point in our hockey game this time. :) It was he and I playing against Andrew--and we lost, but had fun. :)

Oh, and did you know that hockey sticks work really nice for writing in snow? The results almost looked like Calligraphy to me...

When we weren't outside or cleaning the house, we were visiting with a man who came out to our place to buy some farm products and then also visiting with a neighbor lady who stopped in for a gift-card (for Mom's business) that she'd like to give to a friend of hers.

Also, Andrew finished up with his order of Prairie Day DVDs that the Dagleys and their friend are buying from him to give to their friends this holiday season. Andrew spent a lot of time conglomerating a bunch of video clips and tons of pictures to make a nice, 50-some-minute long Prairie Day presentation movie--with cute music and everything. :) Here's just a sampling of it--the trailer that he made a while back...

Well, I'd best head for bed. Here's wishing all of you a good nights rest and a lovely weekend!
