Waves

Here are a couple pix from Big Lagoon yesterday. Taking pictures is probably a good part of my diminishing desire to describe the ocean in my journal. But it's impossible not to take pictures when I see the huge waves at the lagoons! (Even tho I really need a video camera!!)

Am home again today (not babysitting) -- just found out yesterday that I would be, for MLK day. It's sunny again but I'm just staying home and catching up on a few things. May go to grocery store and/or take a short walk. A few nights ago I recorded a PBS thing about comedy and will probably watch it later while continuing on my scrapbook for the twins. I love making scrapbooks.

Back-Country Skiing in Detroit

Yes, ladies and Gentlemen, this IS Detroit! We're skiing in the woods on Belle Isle and we are on a little side trail along Nashua Creek.

Patrick's Point

Was warm again and I didn't have to babysit -- went to Patrick's Point State Park. Was only there one other time, fall of 2007. Sent a picture from each visit of the same place (well, obviously not exactly the same place, but very close). Quite a difference!!

Of course the foggy picture is cooler, but the weather was a lot more pleasant today! Leaf lady (Gail)
