Winter Ride 2012

 It has been the best winter ever for riding!  Only once did Phantom have to jump through the drift and not on this ride.  Getting out on my pony seems to bring my life back to me, it's just me and Phantom. Of course the dogs, Lady and Selke, hate to be left behind. In fact if I pick up my boots they start pacing with theirs eyes glued to me.  It is such an adventure for all of us.  I decided last fall to ride any day it was possible and I've very nearly done it.  Phantom is in the best spring shape ever.

I don't know why I haven't any photos of Rowan's birthday, the day before this was taken.  This is the happy birthday for Melanie and Wally.  That cake was so darn cute!  Rowan's cake was beeautiful!  Just gotta find photos.

This is my test, can I get back into blogging without it taking over my life!  Lots more photos but I'm afraid to try loading them as my computer seems to freak out with more that three.

Christmas 2011

Such a beautiful tree this year thanks to all the helpers young, older and old!  So there IS life at Treehouse afterall.  This blogging on the new laptop is driving me nuts!  These are not the photos I thought I was loading but here they are.  This computer must feel it has to override my choices.  Oh well, here goes.  There is a photo of Melanie and Heather stringing the cranberries and popcorn, not sure where that went.

The blog no longer seems to be working...so the photo stays where it is...the cool Parisean apron came all the way from Germany, thanks Rose!  With thoughts of you I'm cook'in in the kitchen!  You may be very far away but you were sure in our thoughts and missed very much.

We were in the audience for the Christmas program at Peach Church in Duluth.

What a darling couple!  We sure enjoyed having Brian and Heather with us for Christmas.
