Driving in the snow

I am guessing our drive to the log cabin today will be simliar to the one we took last week. Snowy and slow! The picture below was of our drive last week. I'm so glad the hubby has decided to take some time off so we can spend 5 days at the cabin. We have friends coming to visit for a couple days and there are talks of going sledding!


Thank god for 4 wheel drive!
One of our favorite restaurants is Jac's Place at Marsh Ridge Golf Course. They also rent snowmobiles in the winter. I daydream that the couple in the photo is Greg and I heading back to our snowmobiles after dinner. (No, we don't have snowmobiles....not in the budget yet)







I had the clam strips last time at Jac's and they were so tender and good! Look how beautifully this is presented.



Greg had this pecan encrusted walleye with this outstanding sweet sauce - it was outstanding! I think I'm going to ask Greg to take me there on Friday...









Everyone have a great rest of the week! I'm hoping I can post and check everyone's blogs (that's if our DIAL-UP internet service is working up there. That's another story!)

That plate of food sure does look good. It is 8 AM and I usually have a breakfast bar, but I would trade it right now for that plate!
Thanks for the tour! Prancer lives in Michigan, who knew!
Clocks ticking...have to get ready to start my day.

I don't know which plate of food I'd prefer, they both look yummy! I enjoyed snomobiling here in the Adirondacks 30 years ago. Then our children were young and our family had four "sleds"... What fun we had with picnics along the trail and get-togethers with other families for trail rides. Now my kids are adults with kids of their own. Two of my three still are snowmobiling,.. now with their own kids! I hijack a sled for a short ride around the pastures at least once a year.

Ha! That is funny about the snowmobiles! We have Arctic cats. Dream on, girl. Maybe someday.

Well Shelley----First it's a hot tub --so that you can enjoy it while it snows on you. Then, snow-mobiles!!!! Man--I am having fun spending your money for you!!!!!

Be careful going to the log cabin. Me, being an old southern gal---well, I'm afraid to drive in the snow. Having a 4-wheel drive up there is a must I guess!!!!

Enjoy your company also. Lucky people!!!
Hugs,
Betsy

Those clamstrips look GOOD! My husband is itching badly for ATV's. He tried telling me that they could replace a tractor and be used for hauling stuff around. lol. We'll be getting those soon. :)

The Three Little Bears said...

Oh, I have to wonder what people in the restaurant thought of you taking pics of the food. lol. When I was Waikiki Beach, all the Japanese people did was order a bunch of food, take pictures of it (even took pictures of themselves with it), then took 2-3 bites and left. They even did this at Coldstone. lol.

That food looks amazing!

Have a great time at the cabin. My aunt and uncle had a cabin in the woods in the Black Hills in South Dakota. They bought snowmobiles to use around the woods. They loved it and I hope you achieve your dream, too.

Unknown said...

Dial-up - gosh, I'll be thinking about ya!! Have a safe trip!

joated said...

Hope you had a safe trip. The snow falling out in the midwest is headed my way for Thursday night into Friday. And even more is predicted for Christmas Eve and the week after.

Phantastic phood photos!

Oh, the joys of DIAL-UP service, I know them well. They are innumerable. [They can't be counted 'cause there aren't any!]

Enjoy your time at the cabin.

Denise said...

Walleye is Bill's favorite. We don't have a budget for 'toys' yet either. We definitely want snowmobiles. Sounds like Jac's is the place to go!

Patsy said...

Wonderful!!!

Constance said...

I am a tiny bit jealous but I know you are having a wonderful time. the Walleye looks yummy, one of my fav fish! Dave would bring it back from his fishing trips in Canada. I am excited about going snowmobiling in a couple of weeks in Yellowstone! Yippee!

It looks like you made it safely to your beautiful log cabin. We don't currently live in a log cabin and we still have dial up. We will have to get both one day. :)
