Good Afternoon Everyone,

I thought I had better get myself in here while I had the chance. people must still be eating the apples because we have still been busy packing them and shipping them out. We had such a big apple cop this year that my boss thought we wouldn't be done until May. But we've been so busy that now it looks like will be done around the end of March. Not sure yet.

Mary~~~I couldn't help but read your Blue and Green comments. Most of our old owners and some of the new Graduated from Michigan State and my daughter-in-law also likes them. Then my daughter likes Michigan Wolverines along with my Sister-in-law and Brother-in-law. Then I have a sister-in-law who lives in Alabama that likes Notre Dame. My son and hubby are Tiger fans and my hubby is a die hard Lions fan. I sure hope they do alright tonight o my hubby is going to be disappointed. Christmas time comes around and I am wrapping a whole lot of the above teams.

Jan~~~I sure have missed you also and am so glad you're back with us. My prayers go out to you and your family with what your husband is facing. I hope you are finding some time to enjoy your retirement.

Diane~~~Gee, can you buy another new snow blower next year. If it help with less snow, I'm all for it.
I'm loving for this weather we're having. We did have a snow event earlier, but I've seen much worse so therefore I'm thankful. That's a good question bout the Honeycrisp, but I don't know the answer to it. I honestly think they must be grown in other states also, but I don't know that for a fact. We were packing Braeburn apples this past week and my boss brought in a couple of them for me. He told me they were like a fuji, but not as sweet. I bit into one and it was pretty sour. Not my kind of apple. I took the other one home and tossed it out in my yard to see if any animal might like it.

Sandi~~~That railing looks great. My hubby built a deck quite a few years ago and it gets awfully slippery in the winter. I fell on it about 8 years ago and hurt my ribs in back. I've since bought me a pair of Yak Tracks to put on my boots for more traction. I wish we could figure out some kind of railing to hold on to and still look alright on that deck. Oh, your flowers are beautiful. It makes me want spring. The pictures you have been posting are so cute. Well all of them except those snow pictures. Oh I hope it don't get that bad here. That little cat with it's paws up ha always been one of my favorite pictures.

Well, I have to get some work done around here. Just wanted to say "Hi" to everyone and wish everyone a wonderful week-end.

Good Morning...
It is a chilly 23 now but will be up to the high 40's by tomorrow.

Elaine... can you believe the winter we have had so far. We have not had enough snow here at home to evenus a snow shovel ... and it is mid Jan. almost! Not complaining! I used to eat Breaburn along time ago. then switch to Fugi and Gald now I am in love with Honey Crips. but not the prices they charge for them. And they are such huge apples too.

Sandi... your railing looks just fine! I know what you mean about having to use things like that now.

Jan... when you write to us are you using your new laptop (is that what the kids got you). We miss you. How is the hosue? How are you!?

Cindy... I pray that you are getting better each day. How is hubby? and the fur kids too? Take care

Mary... how are you doing put there? I suppose you have been hearing about the mild winter we have had here so far in MI. Up near Traveses City there is snow but not down in the south part of the state. I love football... it is my favorite sport to watch. I really like college football but will watch pro ball too.

OK ladies... I hear my laundry calling out for me. gotta go..........
Have a great day!

Thor's Well a/k/a "the gates of the dungeon" on Cape Perpetua, Oregon. At moderate tide and strong surf, flowing water creates a fantastic landscape.

Restaurant on a cliff on the east coast of Zanzibar.
Depending on the tide the restaurant can be reached both on foot and by boat.
