This month is just whizzing by. We keep getting just enough fresh snow to keep our guests out on the ski trails.

The Hewitt family was back for a visit this past week. Brad brought us some wonderful coffee from his internet business, www.siriuscoffeeroasters.com.
McKenzie opened her presents at breakfast with her sisters looking on. Her American girl doll is sitting in the chair.

Bob & Joanie stopped for a night on their way to the U.P. to see the grandkids. We haven't seen them for a while and it was fun catching up.

The week-end brought a full house from the
Sarett Nature Center. They skied Hartwick,
Hanson Hills, & XC Ski Headquarters.

Sunday night Rod & Irene checked in. What a fun couple! Rod insisted on tea & cookies. Now living in Lansing, Rod had lived in the area and grew up in Westbranch, he shared some great stories and observations.




Today is President's day and another girl has her birthday. Mark, 'Cede, & I celebrated by doing what I like to do so we went to Culver's and later had a nice long hike in the woods.
