The last of ice fishing???

The girls and Robbie went fishing this weekend while I worked. The weather was gorgeous for them. The ice was still over 6" plus thick, but it was slushy on top so they got soaked! Boots are still drying out! They are hoping its not the last time they can be on the ice - but more than likely it is. Anyways - they had fun and finally, after 2 months of fishing in bitter cold for hours at a time - they caught some! Here's a picture of the big catch.

The above picture is Elizabeth scooping the slush out of the hole.

Shocking I know, that Robbie is on the cell phone. I do believe its attached to his ear!! The 4wheeler w/tracks in the background so they could ride while waiting for the flag to pop up.

So now that ice fishing is drawing near the end, its time to dig out the fishing poles for regular fishing. Now, this is something I enjoy doing. Nothing better than sitting on a lake or on a dock, in warm sunny weather, casting!

Recent days with the Hams

We had an absolutely GORGEOUS day today. It was sunny and somewhat warm, mid 30's, today. We enjoyed some outside time. Breaking up the ice in the driveway and walkway, shoveling off the camper roof, bringing up wood and just enjoying the fresh air. Opened the windows in the house 2 days in a row to air it out. Or as my mum says "blow the stink out". Now we are hunkered down and getting ready for another snowstorm that is suppose to hit us tomorrow night into Monday. 6 or more inches of snow. We'll see!!

A friend and fellow EMSer got us some shrimp. Last night Robbie and Robyn picked shrimp and froze it.

Below is a WONDERFUL video of Robyn trying to attempt to pick shrimp!

Can't apoligize for the following pictures

HAPPY VALENTINES

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY to all my friends and family near and far! Thanks for always being there and giving me love and support!!!!! LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Robyn got up and made a wonderful sign and pancakes for us this morning!!! She and Elizabeth are definitely keepers!!

This, that and the other thing

Well, I had an interesting patient today in the ER. My husband! Robbie fell on the boat at work and broke a rib or two. He's a tad uncomfortable right now, he has a lanacaine patch on and that's helping. Was given a pain prescription, but said he didn't need it so didn't get it filled. Um....now the pharmacy is closed and he's thinking twice about that.


Below are pictures of the hearts that are hanging when you enter the Boothbay Common. The pictures don't do it justice. It's bright and cheery to see on a dreary February day. My 2nd mom, Pat, was the one that gave the idea and initiated it. I call her my 2nd mom because she's my long time friend Melissa's mom and who else can ground you as a teenager!!!

Anyways, back to the hearts - they are beautiful!!! Oh, and Robyn helped hang them this year.

This next picture is the pattern of frost that was on my window this morning. Again the picture doesn't do it justice. It really was pretty, even though it was -6 out!!

And finally this picture is one of the many reasons why I love Maine! The sea smoke was gorgeous this morning. This picture is looking out of the water by the hospital. Actually the float in the back is the hospital's float. Where the little building is by the trees is the helopad.


So that's the excitement going on here. Robbie is in the recliner snoring away, so he's obviously comfy there. Maybe he'll end up sleeping there. He did make it through the first 8 laps of the Nascar race. Must be a record!! LOL!!
