 JAN 28, 2012 AWAY FROM HOME! Bob, Heath, Wyatt, and I are in Syracuse, NY at a Sportsmans Show this weekend. We had about 8 inches of snow at home the day we left., but there is absolutely nothing here. Every body is loving our snowshoes but the comment is, "well, too bad we need snow". We have had 2 booths at every show so far this year, one for the lodge and one for the snowshoes and furniture. Dinner at Stella's Diner tonight, delicious! Tomorrow is the last day of this show and we'll be heading home overnight. We were invited to display our new snowshoe patio chairs at the Governor's area at the State House, so exciting! They kept 2 there, as well as a brand new dining room chair. I didn't even get to take a good picture of it yet. Space is filling up for this hare season which ends March 31. I have room the next couple of weeks, but after that, it's getting close. Please call soon to check the dates you are hoping for. ALSO---The coyote baits are hot now! Heath and Bob have been working very hard to keep these baits active, chasing down bait every day, dragging it to the sites, lets not let that time and money be wasted, come take care of some coyotes. You can hunt coyotes only by the day, or add a night hunt to a hare hunt for an extra $50. JAN 12, 2012 SNOW EXPECTED-FINALLY We are expecting to get 6-10 inches of the white fluffy stuff today, yeah! Great for kids, rabbit hunters, snowshoe purchasers! We had only had a dusting so far. Hope everybody had a splendid holiday season! How about those New Year's resolutions, are we ready? Remember last year, I said I wanted to lose 40 pounds by the time I hit 40 years old in May-well I didn't (surprise). Now, my goal is to lose 40 pounds before I hit 41 this May! I still need telepathic will power from all of you-but stronger this time please:) Kelly and I started back up with Zumba this week, it is the only excercise I ever looked forward to doing, it's awesome! Bob is doing well, he did have a heart attack back in June and had a stent implanted, but he got a good report from the heart doctor and we expect no future problems. Heath injured his knee again and could use some prayers for his quick recovery, he will probably need surgery. Uncle Steve is doing all-right as well, he has been seeing a diabetes specialist and is trying hard to get things under control. Wyatt is the same, growing too fast and trying to avoid chores and homework, but still a wonderful, loving boy that I am so thankful for every day.  
FIRST SNOWSHOE WITH REVERSE! NEW-"RABBIT HUNTER" Shaped like a Green Mountain, but with a bigger upturn in the front, and a midsize upturn in the rear, you can back up easily! Bob designed this one and he is very excited about it. Our snowshoe and furniture business is growing by leaps and bounds! Check out www.mgsnowshoes.com to see all the new furniture and snowshoes!   This furniture is not easily shipped, so we are looking for stores in other areas of the Northeast region where we could sell and deliver to. If you know of any stores that our furniture would be a good match for, please send me the contact info. We have these patio/camp chairs, we will be selling them to stores as a set of 2 or 4 chairs and an end table. We also will be having dining room chairs and barstools (I'm getting the first ones for my kitchen). We were just approved to show our pieces at the State House building in Augusta, we are very excited! Now is the time of year people are booking their trips for this upcoming season, and things are looking up so far. Rabbit season is filling up, coyote is very popular, and the fall hunting dates are filling in as well. Bob has started to attend trade shows and if you reserved a hunt with us, please send in your deposits now, we cannot save space through the show season without confirmation. We are still offering the prepay and save plan, $5,000 saves you 5%, $10,000 saves 10%, and $20,000 saves you 20%. Some people have even teamed up with their hunting buddy to pool their money to get the bigger discount. Latest read: Heaven is for Real If you haven't read this book, it's a must. It's a very short, easy to read story of a 3 year olds' brush with death and his visit to Heaven and back. He tells of things he couldn't possibly have known, it's undoubtable and is life changing to read. Most of us believe that when our loved one passes on, we will see them again in Heaven, but although we all say it, sometimes we wonder, "how do we know for sure?" This boys' tale confirms it. I recommend it to anyone who has lost a loved one, and beg anyone who lost an infant like we did to read it-today!
