Winter 2021

January and February gave us a few weeks of winter to enjoy outdoor activities

Even with remote school, there were 2 snow days

Menotomy Rocks came through as usual with the 1st ice of the season

Later on Spy Pond was skatable for one Sunday with decent gray ice

Night XC skiing at the golf course

We worked on the National Historic Trails Junior Ranger booklets. For the Pony Express NHT, they asked to draw how else you could have transported the mail across the West in the 1860s

Catfights have lessened as the boys settled into a mostly peaceful coexistence




If Trader Joe's sells a 1.2 oz bag of dried strawberries for $3.49 and nuts.com sells a 5 lb bag for $70 (including shipping), and your daughter eats 1 oz of dried strawberries a day, how much money do you save by buying the enormous 5 lb bag? Answer: $163

Homemade fougasse was pretty good, but still not quite as excellent as Beach Pea bakery 

COVID vaccine slots in Florida for Grampa Mike and Nana were available through weekly online lotteries at 6 AM. We learned the multiple device and browser window trick in order to score Hamilton tickets, and it worked again. Heather was able to land appointments for both of them.

No trips away from home for Caroline's birthday. Grandma Joan and Grampa Ed visited for the vacation week.

Notice how Tessie has the common sense to bail before hitting the fence but Caroline stays in for the ricochet

Who needs a sled?

Tessie figured this out by ear herself
