Ice Fishing

Ice Fishing

     It's getting to be that time of year!!!  My husband loooooooves to ice fish!!!  These are our two sleds.  My husband built boxes around the sled and built storage compartments. 




     The dog hates the ice...scared to death.  Once we finally pull him onto the ice, the freezy-cat needs a blanket to lay on.  He also needs another blanket to get wrapped up in.  Labs are suppose to be cold-weather dogs...not this one!



My blogs are usually a month in advanced,  so as today,  we are on the ice with 4 " of good ice!

     Found this brand, new, in the box, memory box at a yard sale for $2!!  I painted gold trim around to give it some character.  I'm using it for memories of Dad.  Need to fill it with some of my favorite, Dad, pictures!!



The Eagle with the flag drawing was designed by my dad.  He drew it out, right after 9 - 11.

Dad

Dad

    Dad never recovered, nor did he really wake up from surgery.   He spent 18 days in ICU.  Mercy Hospital,  in Cedar Rapids,  IA has the best nurses and Doctors.   They gave my dad the best care and made sure our needs were also taken care of.   The wonderful surgeon tried everything he coud to save my dad, but God had other plans.  Dad is now at peace,  in Heaven. 

     This is a shelf, sat up in Dad's memory.   These are a few of the things I had made for him over the years.
