I started off the MonthOFun with a fun activity!
I stood on the ice that was once Lake Okoboji but is now 18 inches solid ice with a group of hardy Iowegians!
And a plane flew over…..
And while we saw the plane, the plane also saw US!
The cardinal set a record turnout for the 3rd annual 2010 ArtsLIVE ECO Art People Project on West Lake Okoboji (just off the shoreline from Lakeside Lab).
205 men, women and children ventured out onto the ice and made the 110 foot cardinal on Miller’s Bay.
The event was held as part of the 30th annual U of O Winter Games.
The bird was designed by Chad Branham.
It was photographed by Judy Hemphill Photography and Midwest Flying Services, Incorporated.
For information on obtaining photographs which are available for sale, stop by the Iowa Welcome Center in Arnolds Park (in the Maritime Museum building). You can also visit ArtsLIVE.com or call them at 332-6507. (Photo courtesy Judy Hemphill and Midwest Flying Services, Inc.).

6 weeks seemed like such a LONG time when she started.
Six Weeks of radiation.
For Breast Cancer.
And on Friday, she is done.
Dan and I went with her one visit. The Lynn Cancer Institute is brand spanking new, state of the art, and painfully BEAUTIFUL.
Congrats Mom (and Dad, too) for making it through these weeks.
And to celebrate your last treatment on Friday, we’ll be at your summer home.
Having a little party!

I’m still here.
Spending time reading….and on Twitter (@marybethhunt and @huntel ) and napping under blankets and cooking and eating.
And gearing up for the MONTH O FUN!
February is my Birthday Month.

We’ve had a week of fog here.Jim Flowers the Weaterman calls it Frozen Fog.
Outside my front window, the artwork changes every day.
My favorite husband gave me this view that we share….but I usually hog it
all
to
myself.
Just about straight out of the camera.
It feels like we are in a soft, cloudy coccon.

Very
Cool.

I will eat Breakfast Food at every meal.
In fact, I pretty much DO!
Holidays are when I do breakfast best…
One of the BEST things about Nebraska Winter is FREE OUTDOOR REFRIGERATION!
We had frozen things outside and refrigerated things in a styrofoam cooler in our garage.
The fruit was PERFECT and that was a GOOD thing because raspberries in December in Nebraska are EXPENSIVE!
Waffles and Fruit and a Christmas Blizzard!

Coldest Day in the history of mankind occurred in Vail, Iowa, 24 years ago when I married my best friend.
Sounds like we are gonna be snowed/sleeted/iced in today.
That’s okay.
He’s still my best friend~!
Happy Anniversary, Daniel Boone!

“There is in every true woman’s heart a spark of heavenly fire,
which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity;
but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.”
Washington Irving
Some of the women in my life are having moments of prosperity or adversity.
I guess you either have one or the other, right?
But this quote is for my One and Only Sister-In-Law, Sue, who lost her mother this past week to cancer.
(by the way, cancer sucks)
Grandma Bobbie was beautiful, patient, generous, and supportive to me.
I felt like she was MY children’s grandmother, too!
Sue, I’m so sorry.
It isn’t fair.
I have a cousin who has a boy with cancer and a high school friend with a young daughter with cancer and my mother has been touched by cancer and on and on.
To you all, I wish you STRENGTH.
