Old Telephone Box

My husband found this really old telephone today. He's going to modify it, hang it up and we'll all store our cell phones inside. A very modern use for a very old antique.

2nd Nordic Race

My son competed in his 2nd Nordic race this afternoon.  It was held at Titcomb Mountain in Farmington.  He loved racing just as much as the first time!

The Boys of the Oxford Hills Nordic Team

My son's team competed in their first race of the season today at Sugarloaf Outdoor Center. It was beyond cold, but they had a great time and did very well!

Patriot's Pen

This evening we attended a ceremony honoring a few of our local students. 200+ students from the middle school had entered essays about patriotism into a contest sponsored by the VFW. My son wrote the first place winning essay! Now his essay will be reviewed at the state level and then at the national level.  I wonder how it will compare.  I haven't read it yet.  My son is very self-deprecating, so he almost didn't even enter his writing in the contest, and he certainly didn't save a copy to bring home!

Happy New Year!

Thank goodness for our over-sized table & our own hens! 3+ dozen eggs, 5 pounds of potatoes, & 2 1/2 loaves of bread later - my husband got the troops fed.

A Quiet Evening

Our days are so busy that it's nice to be able to have quiet evenings spent playing games in front of the fireplace.
