Greetings from beautiful Michigan!! Our winter wonderland is gorgeous today so I thought I'd show my loved ones who are in warm climates what they're missing!!:) We're having lots of snow this winter and part of the "wonderland" is wondering when we'll see the ground again! We've had lots of school closings which teachers and students love but parents are a bit tired of it. We're also wondering when school kids will get out for the summer--hopefully by the 4th of July!!! Rich and I are well. Rich probably spends about 50 hours a week in his barn and is delighting in that. I'
ve been enjoying volunteering and taking care of Steve and Mary's two youngest--Ben was here this morning and we played with blocks and trucks for a few hours--Ben is 18 months. I'll pick up Ellie from pre-school on Friday and we'll do lunch and maybe go to the mall for a little while so that she can ride the carousel. (actually we both get to ride it:) Rich will celebrate his 64th birthday on Sunday. We celebrated his birthday plus a few others with the DeBoer family this past Sunday--Church was canceled due to an ice storm but everyone managed to get here for dinner. This Friday 
evening, the Klops and niece Sarah are coming to celebrate Rich's birthday a second time and then, Rich and I hope to go out for dinner on Sunday to celebrate! Three birthday parties--I really love him!!!Blessings to all of you.
