2018

2017 was a busy year. 2018 will be another busy year. I feel that it's how life will be from this point forward. Work, grad school, kids' school and activities, the list goes on and on. 

2018 goals include taking more "staycations" aka trips around the area for a fun, "get out of the house" activities. We started this a couple months ago and I look forward doing more as the weather gets warmer. 

Obviously, we are not in warm weather right now. It's cold. Freezing cold. This body of water? The Missouri River. It hasn't completely frozen, of course, but nice big chunks of ice floating by. 

The above photo is a shallow area where the water doesn't move much. It was completely frozen over and thick - thick enough that the kids could stand on it. Doug threw rocks on it (big ones!) and it cracked some but not enough to break it apart. 

I hope to post more of our explorations on this blog. It needs something besides summer flowers and garden views.
