A Little Viking's Fan

What do you suppose my grandson is up to? Is he trying out a new exercise to get blood to rush to his head? Maybe he is using Mom's knees as ear muffs to protect his ears from all the New Year's fireworks in Hawaii. No, his mother says he is sneaking a peek at the Vikings' game last Sunday. Mack is not supposed to watch TV but he figured out a way to take a look while sitting on his Mom's lap. Let me tell you Mack, you better grab all the peeks of the Vikes you can because if past years are any predictor of this year, they won't be around much longer. Go Vikes!

It's not too late!

Hurry, hurry. It isn't too late to order the latest and greatest of Christmas gift traditions which only comes around this time of year: this year's version of the Chia Pet. Order this year's version directly from Hawaii: "The Sleepy Mack Chia Pet." Just add fluids and in a very short time his hair will grow into the beautiful green locks that you see in the picture. And if you hurry we will send an additional Sleepy Mack Chia Pet all for the low, low, price of $19.99 plus shipping and handling.When he arrives remember to occasionally trim his green locks or else you will unfortunately find yourself with the "Grumpy Mack Chia Pet." Hurry!

Sunday Quiz

Here is a pop quiz for you. Where would you rather be today? In picture one with balmy breezes and temperatures in the mid eighties? Or in video clip # 2 with negative 12 degrees and 40 mph gusts? (Tell me again why we live in ND?) If your answer was #2, you are a true North Dakotan. May both of you be blessed.

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas...

December can be kind of bleak in North Dakota. The snow has been coming...just about everyday and a blizzard is heading our way tomorrow.
How nice to have some singing carolers from Faith Evangelical Free stop by. They said that they were trying to sing to all the "old people and shut-ins" from the church.

They are muscians from the church so they were mostly on key as they sang some
beautiful songs of Christmas. Thank you, carolers, for sharing

the joy of the season with us! Merry Christmas!! (Click on the picture to see their smiling faces).

A Rare Sighting

Most of you who have looked at my blog know I like to get rare pictures. Pictures of wild life and birds and things that are unusual. It is a challenge to try to get that picture because things in nature do not pose and smile for you. Well, this morning I caught sight of a rare sighting which may never occur again so I thought that it was worth maybe getting a face full of snow to take the picture. Look closely, you may never see this again....
