Carter wanted to go skating out on the lake today.  I told him we needed to wait a few more days before we can shovel out a skating rink.  He is a mad man on the ice at the hockey rink, practicing backwards skating and next he wants to spray ice.

Kenzie was a cuddley little bear today.  She felt like she had a fever when I dropped her at home.  I hope the little flea bag doesn’t make me sick just before deer season and Thanksgiving.

Speaking of deer hunting we are cutting deer, or if you cut your own we are grinding hamburger and making sausage.  Bring your deer or trim in for processing.  Scott shot a deer a couple weeks ago so we have venison hot stix and summer sausage if you want a sample for deer camp.

So when you see a building on fire call nine one one.  Louise was driving out to the lake on Friday and saw a fire at Silvermist Garden Center.  She Called our son Scott who is on the Volunteer Fire Department in Waupaca instead of nine one one.  He told her to call nine one one and hung up on her.  He called nine one one and she did also, she met him heading into town with his lights flashing.  Don’t know how much damage but they had the hole in the roof fixed by the time I got back from golfing this morning.

Speaking of golfing, Kenzie and I got our last round of the year (maybe) in today.  It was a beautiful day on the golf coarse.  I don’t know where Kenzei got the idea but the first 3 holes she ran up on the green and picked up my ball before I could putt.  It was also a little sad out there.  The last round that my Dad and I played was the Monday before the election in 2008, mid 70s and sunny, a really good day on the golf coarse.
