Extra curricular activities while in Eveleth!

While staying at the Potter's we had fun in the snow. We may pick up semi-professional sledding!

Super One Shootout in Eveleth

Things are shaping up nicely in the Super One Shootout!  We had a great first set of games to qualify through the A bracket.  Tomorrow, Sunday, we'll start the playoff games at 9 am.  Hopefully we'll play at noon and 3 pm as well.

Thanks for all your support!  Good curling!

Brrrrrr!

It's freezing here in the Twin Cities. -9 degrees with more snow on the way! After I got home last night, I bundled up and shoveled the sidewalk which took about 20 minutes. Then I lifted weights, but I was already tired from lifting and pushing snow around. Ah MN :)

Mixed Doubles Recap

What a fun weekend! Corrie and I were 5-2 after the round-robin and finished in 3rd place in pool B, just one game shy of making the semi-finals. Laura and Nate G. finished the same as us in the A pool with a 5-2 record. Jackie and Ryan finished 6-1 and were #1 in the A pool, with Jamie and Nate H. finishing #2. Both teams advanced to the semi's and had great games there. Congrats to Team Clark, who won the Mixed Doubles competition and congrats also to my sister and husband for playing a great final against them.

The weekend was made especially fun in the down-time by staying at the Larsmont Cottages just outside of Two Harbors. The 4 of us and our teammates rented a 3-bedroom cottage that included 3 1/2 baths, a gourmet kitchen, living room with TV, DVD, and stereo, dining room, jacuzzi tubs in the bathrooms, outdoor grill and a wonderful location next to Lake Superior. We cooked up some delicious meals including chili, fajitas, spaghetti, and venison along with baking cookies. It was a great weekend to work on our draws and finesse shots without relying on too much sweeping.
