more pictures of Canada

It seems very strange to post here again.
This was a great way to keep in touch when we were gone from home and now we are here it seem there is no need to post. I am not sure that anybody will read this but I would like to post a couple of pictures of a trip I did going to Canada this last month.
This lake is where I got tossed from the boat we were hunting from and I will just tell you it was cold with water pouring into my chest waders and being pulled along like a fishing lure.

Last weekend was the first time that I have been on the water in two years. I went with a friend of mine who like's to hunt water fowl even more than I do. He has a jet boat that can run the snake river's rapids while going up stream against heavy current.
The first day was a warm thirty degrees in the afternoon that made life very nice for us to relax and enjoy the outdoors. While the ride up the river, well the ride down too, was for me kind of scary cause I was not in control of the boat nor am I an expert river runner. Good thing I wasn't in control I would have sunk us for sure.
My buddy Roger is a great friend and fun to be with. He kept calling me to come hunting with him even when he knew that I would more than likely turn him down cause of the work load I had at the time. Thanks Roger for all your calling.
We had a great time shot a few ducks, a couple of shots at geese, and just a wonderful time being out of doors.

Well now it is January 2011 what a difference a year makes. Last year in Silver City. This year in Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah working.
Silvers winter was a week of snow and some cold, this year we have had at least two feet of snow and below zero temps. I like Silver City. I also like the fact that we have had two new granddaughters born to us and they are both healthy and both moms are doing well. We have gotten to see brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters so the trade off has been worth it.

Work had been crazy for the last four months and now we have finished all the things we had going and wondering what we will be doing till spring breaks.

We had opened our home to a young man from the Silver City Area and he stayed with us for a couple of months before moving on.

This weekend I am going to go hunting for the first time in over two years and feel just a little nerves and yet excited about doing so again. I like to talk with the waterfowl ya know.

We have also had friends get sealed in the temple, go on mission's, and join the LDS church so all in all it has been a good year
