It has been a snowy Winter. It is March Madness. Nuff said.

Valentine's Rose

Easter break this year was a time to do celebrate what had passed since school started. This included a Valentine's day dinner out and the perfect rose.

19th Birthday Party

We made a road trip to the college campus to celebrate Cassie's 19th birthday by grilling out. It was a wonderful day to celebrate!!

Open flames are not allowed in the dorm buildings. Outside it was too breezy to keep the candles lit on the cake. We gave up and sang 'Happy Birthday' as Phil tried to keep as many candles as possible lit on the lemon poppy seed cake. If you click on the cake you will see that some of the candles never lit.

A shovel was brought out from the truck and a walk space was described around the college provided Webber.

Ceile (sp) is a new and dear friend Cassie has made since moving to school. She makes sure Cassie gets to and from church on Sundays. This has been a blessing this Winter with the constantly changing variations on Winter. Bitter cold, sleety, foggy.... sometimes all on the same day.

Phil and Cassie and Matthew couldn't resist the occasional snow ball lobbed at one another. There are no pictures of that.

19th Birthday Party II

What a great day for a birthday celebration. The sky was clear. It was cold enough to keep the snow on the piles and warm enough to go about without a hat. Above Larry is making a trip to the truck. Below is a very happy Matthew standing under the picnic area.

Phil agreed to do the grilling. The rest of the crew gradually found their way to a conference room for the feast.

19th Birthday Party III

This is more party. Phil, always creative, wrapped his gift in Christmas wrap.

A recent theme is turtles. Cassie is most cooperative. Turtle card. Turtle jama bottoms. An alphabet fleece blanket in the bottom of the bag with, of course, T for Turtle.


Below is Larry, today. It was warm enough to get under the packed snow/ice before the next great white death. Both he and Matthew took a tumble yesterday on the ice walking from the dorms. One good thing about Winter. Even if you slip on the ice the jackets pad the landing.
