Boy, things sure are quiet around here during the winter! golf has been busy knitting a sweater for Larry, or practicing her helicopter flying skills with Microsoft Flight Simulator (more on that in a minute). As you've seen with the fireplace pictures, we've had lots of fires, but we've had enough warm, spring-like weather to fool some of the plants. Here is one of our daffodils, already blooming!

This week there was a complete lunar eclipse, but we didn't get a picture of it. However, when golf got home around 6 p.m., the full moon was there so she tried to get a picture of me with the moon. Somehow the moon looked much bigger "in person" than it does in this picture. I'm rather disappointed with how it looks here. But this is the one that later that night got eclipsed!

Now, to explain that virtual helicopter flight computer practice remark above: golf and Larry are going to try to go back to Hawaii in September. golf wants to try to fly a helicopter with Mauna Loa Helicopters when she's there. She did this a couple of times, on the Big Island, but it will be different this time, I promise. But I'm not providing any more teasers at this point in time because we aren't sure that everything golf has planned will come to fruition. You're going to have to wait seven months to find out! But if it works as golf hopes it will, it will be worth the wait.

Stay tuned!
