January 9th - Sled Dog Races

Hi,

Hope all is well with all of you.

We are getting a little snow each day. Hasn't added up to much yet. I wish we would just get a good snow and then the sun comes out and we can clean up the snow. This way I don't want to shovel so it just builds up on the steps.

January 9th is the Sled dog races that come through Squaw Lake. This year the Squaw Lake Fire Dept Auxiliary is sponsoring a Soup and Bread Cookoff Contest. We are hoping to get a little friendly rivalry going so we have lots of entrants. Posters will be put up around town. Maybe we will get some good friendly compitition going and have lots of fun in the process.

If you're interested in entering you can pick up the entry forms and rules at Country Hair Care.

Finally finished everything that needed to be done for tomorrow's craft show. Got most of it loaded tonite will finish in the morning. Then spend the day in Deer River with my sister Nancy at the show. Afterwards will go and see my brother in law Donald and see how he is doing. I forgot to buy him some fruitcake. Oh well I will look for it another day if I don't get it to him til after Christmas he doesn't care.

Sunday morning have to wrap a few presents and clean up the kitchen. Will be having my sisters and hopefully my brother up for lunch that day. We haven't been all together since Mom's funeral in 05. Sad that we live so close and don't get together once in a while.

Have lots to get done next week before I have my hernia surgery. I'm sure I won't feel like doing too much for a few days after. Then I go to Steph's for Christmas. We all get together on Christmas Day at the Holiday Inn in St. Cloud. More room and something for the kids to do. Works out nice for our family.

Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year if I don't get anything wrote in the meantime.

Take care,
Julie
