Happy Mothers Day!

Tam and I did an "Extreme Kitchen Cupboard Makeover" for Mom & Dad when we were out in April. So as a Mother's Day tribute I thought I'd share the fun.

Me: Mom, how old do you think this is? (holding up a can of something that the label is peeling off from.)

Mom: (thinking) I didn't buy that too long ago...

Tam: (after finding the 5th bottle of ketchup) I think this one came over from the farm...

Me: (peering at the label) Expiration Date: June, 2002

Fast forward to yesterday afternoon: called Dad and he told me that mom was out shopping for blueberries to make a pie for Sunday dinner because Krista & family were coming over. I'm thinking to myself... there are TWO cans of blueberry pie filling in the cupboard (right side, second shelf from the top.) Ketchup was probably on sale again too, never can have too much ketchup... or jello.

Love you Mom! :)

Those wacky folks in Boston get my sense of humor.

After attending an amazing conference with Tam in Boston. We spent most of an afternoon soaking in Boston's history on the Freedom Trail. More Photos from my trip.

Just when you thought it was safe to put away the snow blower and mittens. This is the view outside our window this morning. With any luck this is winter's last blast. We are sick of ice roads!

Last weekend I attended another DNR BOW weekend on the north side of Higgins lake. Nearly every state's DNR puts on BOW (Becoming an outdoor woman) classes. I'm thinking of going to one this summer to learn how to fly-fish - anyone want to join me? Here are some more photos.

Here is something you will not see every day. Pruett in a tie.

So I have recorded this rare sighting for historical significance.

Occasion? Sadly a funeral.

Email from Tam this morning:

"Rob is in Madison this week.
I'm single (I'm mean SUPER) Mom..."

HAPPY 75TH BIRTHDAY MOM!

It really does look like this. More Photos! So many great scenic views over each hill and around each corner in the Adirondack mountains in upstate New York. Unlike Michigan, there were no scenic turn-outs or places to park to take photos! Most of the narrow twisty roads also didn't have any shoulder to pull off on either. We saw lots of deer and stopped at several small towns tucked away around the lakes and hills. A beautiful place, we would have liked to have more time there to explore.
