[Island Girl]

Chilly and windy, but beautiful sunshine and good company yesterday at the annual on the ice party. Upthesaukee was right, it was just not the same without the fly-in. A couple of planes did land and there was a near miss when one plane came in and had to swoop up because Captain B, in a snowmobile crossed the runway. The plane landed safely on the next pass.

We missed you McD. We even had you paged.... maybe you were up in the helicopter! RG.. we need you cell phone #.

Island Sib and I will be out and about today on our three day, now to be, annual winter trek to the lake.

Since DRH posted lovely pictures of the festival, I will concentrate on other photos. I hope to upload some tonight. The lake is so crusty and slick, out on the broads it looks blue and wavy, almost like open water. Check photopost later.

Being here is helping alleviate missing the beautiful Lakes Region all winter. Hopefully there will be some snow tonight and we can get out there on the snowmobile!

Garwoods, dinner, tonight.
