This is school vacation week for Maine and I believe Massachusetts also. Anyhow, typically this week, the town if filled with families enjoying a winter holiday. It has been, so far, a great week but today, even thought he temperature is 20 or less, there is no wind so it is a great day to play in the snow.

All over town, kids are fishing with the parents, snowmobiling or just playing in the snow.

Earlier today, we had some of our kids, their parents, their dogs, and of course Murphy, all playing out in our """"bottom 40"""". (No it is not 40 acres, just a nickname we gave the yard area down by the lake.)

They all looked like they were having a great time: sledding down the hill, riding their snowmobiles around the yard, running after the dogs...so I did video tape them a little and I will have it up on """"Murphy's Video"""" page later this weekend. (I took a lot of tape so I need a little editing time.)

ps...IT'S SNOWING!
