...... there, just shakin off the cold of this weekend and what a Cold one it was. Incase you haven't heard the East got blanketed in ice!!! Power Out! Hopefully if your reading this right now your power is back on too. Took us 2 1/2 days. So we did what we do best...off on a Moxie "ice" adventure.
Woke Friday to our yard encased in ice..trees & shrubs all tipped over. Even my favorite outdoor toy, Mr. Parachute Man,(we call him Jeremy) was coated in ice. His hands were iceballs! (see pic) Power out , no work, so we jumped in the van and drove everywhere! The ice was both beautiful and devestating. Where the sun hit it in spots it was like pouring rain.(watch video)
We drove way up to Ft. William Henry and Pemiquid Point...less ice but CCCOOOOLLLDDD!!!!!wind chill below zero, no wonder we were alone! Great fort and lighthouse. Old cemetary with graves dateing back to 1704. Me and Dad explored and took pictures of the old headstones. Mom...oh back in the van, refer to CCCOOLLLDDD!!!
Really a beautiful weekend and only one night in the van before house power came back on. Hope all of you faired well too.
PS. We had a Christmas miracle (?) ...Mom was telling an old freind about a good deed we did this summer...helping out stranded hikers, well her friend left and Mom turned on the computer...low and behold an e-mail from those same hikers! they just got a computer! So good to hear from you Ryan & Brett. Happy Holidays...to you and all.
PSS.Big hugs to big brother Jeremy, looks like he'll be stuck overseas till after Christmas. UGH! we love you Jer WOOF! WOOF!
