Thank You Canada!

So this past week we have felt a touch of the Northwest Territories. AS Annie tells of new spring days Milwaukee has had a blast of Arctic air. I think we are on our 6th day of below zero weather. When Mom talks about every day all day being -30 and people are walking around in unappropriate clothing, then it hits Milwaukee -20 for two days and the entire city was shut down. No school for the kids and no activities that would warrant them to go outside. It was just too cold. On Monday it was nice, the day after the Super Bowl(I was going for the Bears but really didnt care either way), I just cleaned the house up. On Tuesday when we were called off I was already bored by the time I woke up. I drove around that morning hoping to get some good pictures to show the cold to everyone. I was disappointed when the "sea smoke" was not going that morning. That is the steam rising off Lake Michigan, they showed it on the news the night before and I was hoping to capture it but it was cloudy so I think the surface of the water was not getting the heat it needed. I did find these other pictures.



The first picture is of an ice fishing house on our pond in the park. I thought it was very funny at first thought.
The second pictuer is Lake Michigan as the clouds come in from the west but the sun is peeking through somewhere from here to MI.
The third is the light house on the edge of the Milwaukee River going out to the lake with the house showing the entrance to the bay in the background.

I love the photos!
I miss those great lakes, I miss a view of water.
I miss snow days.
I miss food that tastes good.
I miss a language I can understand.
I miss friends and family.
I miss shopping for shoes that actually fit my giant(?) feet, so I don't have to wear my tennis shoes everyday. (I'm one of those people, I have been forced to forfeit all fashion sense, because I'm huge!)
