walking on ice!

I walked out on the ice saturday morning with Corey to the ice shanty he was planning to spend the day in. Such a weird feeling walking about a mile "offshore" over the area that I normally am sailing, swimming, kayaking or playing in.... Right now there is so much snow covering the ice that you dont even realize it's the same area. You just feel like you're walking across a field. Then you really think about it, and realize that you're standing over a foot of snow, 2 feet of ice, and then 20-30 feet of water!!! Thankful for my safety!!

friday flight

I sat in a fairly good professional develoment meeting all day friday. Not the best ever, but I give our administration credit for at least trying to get something worthwhile for the music teachers! Talked about assessment that actually benefits us!! Then I headed to put in bay.

This island has been part of my life forever. We were never considered islanders, and we werent even home owners until 14 years ago, but we would visit for several weeks every year and I have tons of memories there. I am thankful that I have the ability to go up there whenever now! Friday night i hopped onto the plane and took the 10 minute trip over the ice to the island. First time I've been back since Christmas. Still such a cool experience. And such a cool place in the winter! So quiet, so different looking with all the snow. Looking forward to the relaxing weekend at dad's house!
