  • The boys and I have had cabin fever lately.  We’ve been either sick, or the weather has not been nice.  So far, we’ve had between 42 and 45 inches when we normally get about a foot of snow during winter.  Our first snowfall was a week before Halloween.  That is also unusual.  Anyway, on Saturday,…
