Reflections of a Chocoholic

Valentines Day may very well be my favorite holiday. This year was that much better because the day fell on a weekend. What could be better...a whole weekend of being catered to and lots of chocolate! I have two addictions, exercise and chocolate. It's a good thing one counteracts the other!! Hope everyone had a nice weekend with their sweetie!

Monday, Monday

Every other day, every other day,

Every other day of the week is fine, yeah

But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes

You can find me cryin' all of the time

The words to that old Mamas And The Papas tune seems to come to mind most Mondays. What a busy weekend it was, and now it's 6:30 a.m Monday and I'm wondering why it is Friday through Sunday fly by and the rest of the week usually seems to move at a snail's pace!

We had some wild weather this weekend. It was 10 below zero at 7:00 a.m. Saturday, we left snowmachining at 9:00 a.m. and by lunch time we were all complaining at how warm we were riding. It was in the 30's mid day and after lunch we actually ran into some rain showers! 130 miles, one huge pizza and a good share of hiliarious stories later we arrived home.

Sunday it either flurried or rained lightly most of the morning, but by mid afternoon the sun was out and it made for a nice snowshoe. Riley, who is now 13 1/2 still snowshoes with us but usually on his terms. We let him go by himself and he follows along at his own pace. In this photo he decided it was time to go home when we hit the fork in the trail.....we were all continuing up the trail and he was headed back down to his warm little bed!

Thoughtful Tuesday

Today would have been my grandfather's birthday. He's been gone for two and a half years now...doesn't seem possible.

Superbowl Sunday

Here I sit watching the last 3:41 of the superbowl....hoping Arizona is going to get their act together. They were looking pretty good, but it's sad at this very moment. I didn't have a favorite but like to see a close game.

Went snowshoeing earlier today (you'll notice a pattern in my posts) and took some photos of the snow. I'm not a photographer, but love to click away. Here is some of what we saw:

I thought this little tree looked like it had a hat on :)....Stacy couldn't see it.

Nikki enjoying our view.
