Valentines in the Woods

We headed north this weekend to kick back with the gang. It was a much needed goof off day for all of us. We did our ususal thing on Friday night at the Oasis, celebrating Londi's birthday with cupcake "shots" provided by Tammy. It was great fun to stuff them in our mouths in one bite! ( and they were yummy too, I can remember that last time I ate a cupcake, as they are on my no no list for allergies!) Saturday afternoon we yanked all the four wheel drives out of the snow banks or unloaded them off the trailers and headed out on the trails two tracking. It was a Great day to be outside! Since our Tracker has not been "Tweaked" yet, Scott and I were continually being pulled out by Tom or JJ. The day just added to our spring fevers!!

Pouting Pup

It not very common to have a traveling Cat but to have a traveling Cat with a dog is always interesting... Cameo always sits in the back and typically Mac sits on her "Kitten Car Seat" but some time she decides to roam around.

You can tell by this photo, Cameo does not like to share her space in the truck. What a spoiled girl she is! Guess this is our answer about getting another dog any time soon!! NOT!

Mackinaw in her " kitten car seat"

Rev it up!!!

It was another wonderful weekend at the cottage, a bit cold and snowy but fun. Since one of our snowmobiles is " acting Up" we decided to upgrade and purchased a 2005 Ski Do Rev!. ( red one in photo) Scott was really excited and picked it up on the way up north on Wednesday night. Saturday through the snow and the cold we rode most of the day with 10 sleds and had a great time. The Gang all stopped at Twin Creek for lunch and we were back about dark......

Mackinaw seem to be really enjoying the snow fall out side and the woodstove this weekend. By choice she spent most of the weekend in and out of this box that we use to bring fire wood in from out back. It sits right in front of the woodstove so it is always toasty warm. This is on spoiled cat.....

Good thing she is a good road Tripper! She only cries on the way home on occasion as she doensn't want to leave the cottage! ( us too, but we don't cry).

Winter Wonderland ( aka Walhalla)

It was a beautiful weekend up north( is there such a thing as a bad weekend up north?) Scott, Cameo, Mackinaw and I were up Friday night and as usual had dinner at the "O" with all the locals. It was a bit cold in the cottage but thanks to our trusty wood stove and furnace it was toasty in no time! Saturday am Scott worked at a cottage on Big Star Lake , while I sorted through DVL Tax stuff. By mid afternoon we were out riding the trails and they were awesome! As we were riding home from Nataka Tavern, a full moon was on one side of us and the sun setting on another. I couldn't help think... well in 11 weeks I'll be watch this same moon and sun sitting on a beach at Ft Myers with with Swifts! Yahoo!

Sunday the snow started up north and I took Cameo out to play in the snow. She turns in to a pup again with all the snow drifts and fluff!. Can't wait to ride with the gang next weekend!

New Years 2008 in Walhalla

2008 New years was spent at Tammy and Jeff Jalvings Cottage for cocktails, a few games of LCR, Wii Kareoke and great food! An of course what is a New years with out a shot of Tequila.

Most of us we out the door head to bed by about 12:3o but a few hit the hot tub at Furlos till about 3 am. Pam walking across the road in her robe with frozen hair must have been quite a site!

Me and Louise rocked the house and discovered Wii kareoke is harder than it looks! After trying to do this and navigate my new DS game " Are you smarter than a 5th Grader" over the weekend, I am seriously thinking about enrolling in some college courses. I am in about 2nd grade....... Soon My nephew Chase may l be smarter than me! Did you know that 9 x 8 is not 78????

Wallhalla Guys and Girls, Happy New Year to all!

Let the good times Roll!

Winter wonderland is still in full force up north so we were able to get some great riding in over the holiday. Spencer, Scott and I headed out on Dec 27 with the Swifts to ride, Unfortunately due to a sled breakdown, only Spencer was able to spend the day riding. He had a great day with the Swifts and then the rain came... Luckily the day after the rain it snowed about 5 inches of new fluff so the trails were good again on New Years Eve and beyond.

The big city....

Scott and I road tripped over to Kate and Gary's for the weekend to shop and see some Northville/ Novi Sites. What a cute town Northville is , kind like Saugatuck! Scott and Gary headed out to the golf stores and sporting goods stores and then hit some golf balls at in in door arena. Kate and I hit the outlet malls and a few other stores but traffic was CRAZY so we quit about 4 and headed back to the condo.

We did find some bargin luckily!

We had a great weekend and will have to make a plan to head back in the spring to see more of the area!. Thanks Kate and Gary for hosting us!
