The Birthday Boy part 2

Saturday we drove to Coleman to celebrate Leo's birthday.  The weather finally cooperated and we were able to make the trip.  We tried the previous weekend but it was just too snowy to take off on the roads.  Bud and I stopped on the way down to order some new tables in Clare at an unfinished furniture store.  We are slowly finishing the decorating of our living room.  

 I took some soup and bread and deviled eggs down for lunch.  We invited Braden and Denise over for lunch.  Leo put some leaves in the table and Eva brought some folding chairs over so we were all able to sit around the table and chat.  Denise brought apple pie so it was a great lunch.

Of course we had to give him some cards to remind him that he is getting older.

 Eva, Bud and I bought him some bathroom towel sets.  He needed some place to put towels and the toilet paper roll.  Bachelors really don't need things like that but sisters think they do and if sisters didn't get them the bachelors might go a long time without them

 On our way home, right down the road from his driveway, we saw this flock of turkeys in the road.
we had to stop and urge them to get out of the road.  Leo says that he has lots of wildlife in his yard, both turkeys and deer.  It is a beautiful setting.

I couldn't post something this week without sharing with you our snowfall .  We already had our January thaw and are now back collecting snow.  This past week the snowplow company came and pushed back the snow in our driveway.  The used a front end loader and piled it up away from the driveway.  We were rapidly losing our turn around area and they were beginning to run out of places to put the snow so this was probably a good idea.

So there you go, the fun activity of the weekend and a weather report from up north.  What more could you want?  I would give you more but that is really all I have.
