Our rule is: When we are too slow to run across the highway to pick up the mail safely, we'll have to move!

We had an extra lamp, having replaced our broken one (New lamps!), and went into the 2nd hand store to donate it. Of course, lunch at Fort Hemlock ensued. I love this spot!




JB had some nummy soup first: Spicy Korean BBQ. You can see the restaurant owner in behind JB, chatting with some other customers. They were discussing the new minimum wage hike ($11.60 to $14 per hour). He was saying servers need to manage 30 customers for him to break even. Also, it's tricky when he has an unexpected influx of customers. I get that, but I'm prepared to pay more for my meal if it means a fair wage for servers. They work so hard, and people should have a living wage.

Eventually, the sun came out. The ice on the dam is amazing.

I love this house, nestled back in the woods.

Next, we went down to the frozen lake at Beveridge Lock. The snow machines have been busy.


Poor Gillian GPS gets confused!



Back at home, I took Daisy for walkies.


You can compare her tracks to the turkey's tracks!

She had a pee in the snow, just after this!
