It's been in the minus for a while now. So cold! On the way to church this morning we noticed the earlier daylight. That was encouraging.
Klint and Kris planned a race day on the ice track for yesterday. When they planned this they said, if the temperature was below 15 F the race day would be canceled. It was -8 here yesterday! They went ahead and were out there themselves even if their noses and cheeks were being bitten by the cold. We had several die-hard racing families and friends show up for the afternoon too.
I made a reluctant appearance and did spend time down by the big bonfire. The kids were in the shop studding up the tires of their quads when I was outside. I wanted to be outside to watch the races (which were planned to be on by that time) but there weren't any races going on, so I went back to the house to wait until they were out racing. The longer I was indoors the better the woodstove heat felt. I began to dread going back out. I ended up watching from the windows the rest of the evening.
They plan to do this again sometime --- when the temps are warmer! That sounds really good to me.

GOOD GRAVY WOMAN! I looked at the temps where you are right now and it's -16!!! Holy Smokes! BRRR! I know that would take some adjusting to having lived down here in Texas for the past 14+ years! Having all of your family around and enjoying doing things together is sch a blessing! What's the word on your car? Are you going to have to get a new one or just have it repaired?
Have a wonderful week!

Yes, c-c-c-ccccoooold! They say... it's enjoyable with the right gear, but I tend to object. Klint got slight frostbite while racing... that don't sound like fun to me!
My car sits in the garage looking so abused. :-( Not quite sure yet what will come of it. Other things seem to be more important right now, but things have a way of "working out for our good."
Waiting for the warmth to return...
Hi there..I feel your cold..it was a fricken cold -27 below this am!!!!!! only one vechicle would start here!!! and to think 2 weeks ag it was 30 above out!! I can't warm up it's been so cold!!
My mom did some beading there I think she sold some at a place called :The Bog" She sent me some things from there I love them!!
Hi Jettie,
Ohhhhh that's even worse cold than here. My sister lives down around the Iliamna area (King Salmon area) and she said that it had been -27F at her home too! But it warmed up to -9F, ha. I haven't heard of The Bog, I like to see other ladies beadwork, it would be fun to see the work your Mom did.
