Another exhilarating weekend on the ice has come and gone. My sister, Lorraine was visiting from Charleston, South Carolina and brought her clarinet to play on the ice to anyone that would listen. She's actually pretty good, not too many flat notes. Karen was with us on Saturday ready for action with her unmistakable knitted cat hat. We played a rousing game of Go Fish with a visitor named Jennifer and we all came to the conclusion that the once benign card game has malicious undertones that none of us caught as kids. Karen won and gloated. Lorraine hit the frozen lake, struggling to figure out X-country skiing. She fell three times on Saturday. By Sunday, another visitor to our shack took mercy on her and showed her the finer points of skiing on a frozen lake. On Sunday I played Go Fish with a 5 year old boy named Amery. He won and didn't gloat. He also borrowed our food coloring and painted a beautiful snow angel over by the Norae Shanty. If the batteries worked on my camera I would have taken a picture. Once again, the ice trumps electronics.
I also started to record my reading of "The Little Prince" over at Pitman's K-Ice Shanty. More recording this coming weekend...Stay tuned.
