So we have not gotten dumped on yet up here in the U.P. - not at all. We are supposed to be getting a storm this week up to 10- 12 inches or something like that, ok, that is only a foot of snow, not even that much and I am used to getting that down in Green Bay...so really, I am getting SO spoiled this winter!!!
I have to say, I do love my Mad Bomber hat from Getz's. It is not only super super warm, but it keeps the wind off me as well. LOVE IT. I am glad I chose that over the Stormy Kromer. I am just a mad bomber kinda gal I guess.
So new place....we finally got to the Coachlite and ate breakfast! YUM!! Great food, good service! It was a very busy place and nice atmosphere! We really enjoyed it. I, of course, did not eat all of mine, like always, so I had help. Jon had an omelet - he was ok with it but was hoping for more cheese or sauce, not what he was expecting. I had the southern country skillet or something and it was delish. Way to go Coachlite! I am a fan.
So my son Jon came up this past weekend and we drove down Lakeshore to show him all of the cool ice sculptured trees...annnnnd, they were all melted. It was 49 degrees outside!!! WHAT!!!! Is SPRING coming early?:?!!! Hahaha of course not, don't be silly. It was just the calm before the storm that was all. It is now going to drop a foot of white beautiful snow on us (I did not say that out lout ssshhh) and I may actually get my first snow day from work!!! (If any of my HBA friends are reading here....I am so bummed if I can't get into work, really!!!)
I signed us up at the HBA for the Holiday Fleet card so I am excited about that!! Ten cents a gallon off!!
So, for those of you who do not know, I sell Pampered Chef. Shamelessly plugging myself here, well, cause this is my blog and I can. But there are not a lot of consultants up here in the U.P. - not a lot at all so I am looking for one in the Houghton area, one or to three in the Marquette area and one or two on the East side of the U.P. - if you know anyone who wants to start their own business, please, but all means, send them to me! To sign up, it is $99 or $159 for a starter kit and you get to keep all of the products! Ok enough shameless Pampered Chef plugging!
So come on mother nature! Show your snowy wintery face and snow me in!!!! :-) Only up here, we don't run to the store and clear our the bread and milk and eggs and water sections......we don't stock up food for weeks on end, well, because that's just life. If you can't drive there, chances are you have a pair of snow shoes, or a sled or four wheeler...and if you don't, a neighbor is bound to!
:-) For those of you who have not been to the lake lately, you must go. When the sun is shining and just sparkling off the water....just stand and look at it...whether it is the sunset over Teal Lake, or over the big lake herself....just to know how beautiful it feels to be moved by something that is out of your control. THAT is what living in the U.P. is about. And when you look up at the stars at night, they will remind you of the beauty in your struggles.
Have a good night my Yooper friends....
...Not a Yooper....but don't mind being amongst them (or in love with one).... - S
