It was sunny all week or so it seemed. I was able to ride into work 3 days, which is impressive since I am just starting to get into good shape. I was pretty tired Friday night from all the commuting. Also bought a new bike. It is currently in the mail. Got what I think is a really good deal off ebay. I will be sure to post pictures when it is put together.
Pitchers and catchers report Wednesday! Baseball is almost here.

A hollow feeling
The Superbowl leaves a hollow feeling this year. It was not fun to watch. Not because of the loss, but because of how the Hawks played. I have never believed officiating changes the outcome of games but it can offer significant challenges. This was a challenge that the Seahawks could not overcome. When combined with drops and poor special team plays (punting and 2 missed FG's) the Hawks could not rise to the top.
Since the Sonics are not good this year, however entertaining at times, it is time to move on to baseball.
10 days till pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training!

GO SEAHAWKS
The Great eye of Seattle will be pointing at Detroit. The big game is today. My prediction 35-27 Hawks. The key to the game is turnovers. If neither team turns the ball over advantage Hawks.
GO HAWKS!

Winds are a blowin
It is very windy here. As I am sure many of you see either out your window or on the news. I always liked wind, (as I am writing this our light fixture outside just flew off and went bouncing down the porch) but am a bit concerned about not having power or cable for the football game tomorrow. That would be just the Seahawks fans luck. Get to the Superbowl and can't watch it.
Good news ahead as it is supposed to be sunny starting tomorrow. By sunny I mean Seattle sunny in that it won't be raining. Time to start pedalling into work. I have only been riding maybe a day a week with the weather so bad. It is all you really can because cloths aren't dry the next day after a bad rain ride. Well gotta put that fixture back on the light.

New treasures
I wanted to show off some of my newest treasures. The painting was a gift from my Uncle Steve, also the artist. His many colored abstracts have always graced the walls of my grandparents' house & my sister & I feel so lucky to now have a small collection of our own (I have two, she has three). This green painting fits in so well with the "nature theme" that we seem to have going in our living room (& house!).
The dolls are a recent & very great addition to my small native doll collection. A few years ago, my mother gave me a couple of native dolls to display at my Heifer International booth at the Festival of Hope. Last Tuesday morning presented an incredible opportunity to add to my collection. At the Musuem of History & Industry, they have received hundreds of dolls over the decades, most of them simply sitting in archives. They decided to sell all the dolls, raising money for the musuem in the process. Mom & I went to the sale at the opening & it was very interesting to see all the different dolls. These dolls were great finds--from Ecuador, Mexico, Poland--all places Heifer has projects.

Snowshoeing
Chris, Coal & I had a great snowshoeing adventure today--we hiked up a ways into the trees & enjoyed lots & lots of snow!
The trees had so much snow on them!
The cool looking snow curls that form from rolling a snowball down a hill.
Coal had a good time too.
Silly snow-girls.

Boulder River Hike
Hit the trail this weekend. It was good hike. Very wet, but worth it.
The hike included 3 waterfalls, lots of moss, and a trail that quickly became a creek. The girls finally understood what Gortex does in hiking boots. It only took Bet and I 2 years to convince them that Merrel cross trainers weren't good hiking shoes.
The river itself was very murky and moving extremely fast.
A hobit lived here.

Hearn family Christmas
New Year's Day was spent celebrating Christmas with the Hearn family in Shelton. As my grandparents moved back to Washington this fall, we had almost all the family present. Fun times...
Grandma Linda & her new scarf.
My little sister Emily with her new rug & her boyfriend of two years, Anthony.
My cousins Seth Kolloen & Meredith being especially festive.
Boo & Bet's gift of the largest, coolest candle I have ever seen. It'll look great on their hearth at home.
Lovely ladies (Boo, Moo-ma & Lili)
