from the ranch :)

Why hello. We are preparing for a visit from Andy's parents and sister Cherie. Very exciting. It snowed this morning. Crazy. It was beautiful huge flakes and very Christmassy...woke up to Cmas music Andy had plugged in while he let me rest longer and he watched Sarah. There are two more staff members at camp now. Brandon and Karla who are leading the Leadership Trainnig Program. Had another rental group in this weekend so it was nice to have meals with others. Andy put in some long days and has been reading lots to in preparation for a Hiking Guide course he's taking in June - lots of pre-course work. He's finding out fasinating stuff - for example about this species of frogs that freezes solid over the winter (think it's only 4 months of the year they are actually 'alive') and thaws in summer and are fully alive. Crazy. He brusied his knee pretty bad yesterday so please pray that he recovers fully and well as it's given him a bit of a limp. He's doing quite well from yesterday though.
He and Sarah went fishing in the rowboat today. Sarah had a rod (stick with line and worm attached) that she let go of once a fish bit...pretty much sure that's what happened. The rod bounced away in the water :) She came back kinda cold (opps, she'd been sitting in water in the bottom of the boat, Andy didn't notice till the end) and I nursed her to sleep (had skipped her nap) and we rested together for a cozy hour before dinner. That was lovely. I read. Ok, talk to you later. Off to finish curtains :)
