this morning I headed out for a hot tub… didn’t check the temperature but it was beautiful… it was around -5 with the windchill I discovered later…

felt like a spring morning… once I got out, I put in some chemicals and moved some snow away from the tub… reminded me of a lovely time that Cyndi and I had in the tub while she was here over Christmas… Ron came out and took a few pics…

I have enjoyed my hot tub for the nearly five years that I have had it…

when the girls were very small George spent some time in Baker Lake and while he was gone I had pool people come out for an estimate… because we had lots of overhead wires and a small yard they could only put in a small pool, which didn’t seem worth it… for about 10 years we would rent a hot tub for our anniversary weekend and we all loved it.. at the time our oldest grandson was a toddler and he adored it… as did all the girls’ friends who were sure to come by that weekend, lol…

got this tub in March of 2009, but we had our first hot tub on Mother’s Day… and since then I have gone in it nearly every day, although for the last few months it has been much more sporadic with the extreme cold… I don’t mind when it is -30 but I don’t really like it when the windchill is below -35…

the boys still love it, although someone wants to be carried in and out if it is cold, lol…

although George always said he didn’t like it, he would usually join me and we would have wonderful conversations… always amazing how the darkness and enclosed spaces opens up the most interesting subjects…

thinking of some of those special moments tonight as I come in from another lovely tub… got to enjoy the beautiful weather… particularly after hot water was added this afternoon:-}…
