Put Winter Sports-Darts, Pool & Adult Beverage Consuming on your TO DO LIST

They say February is the "bluest month" for those of us (and who doesn't) that require a little sunshine in our lives. Not because the days aren't a little longer than last month and not because the sun when it does shine, isn't quite a bit warmer. Common sense tells us to get over it, better days just ahead. But some days, especially cold ones like today or especially gloomy, overcast ones like Monday do seem to put us down...

Advice givers have put out there that making a TO DO LIST, sticking to it, and crossing things off when they are accomplished is a good way to combat the drone of winter, the worries of a shaky economy, or the fear of flooding. I whole-heatedly agree as I have crossed many trivial tasks off of my LIST this winter. BUT as with everything, MODERATION is the KEY. To beat the ill effects of CABIN FEVER, we must get out and participate in life! To gather with our neighbors, as one and merrily consume food and drink while the music and buzz of conversation fills the air!

Tell your friends, let's go to LAKEVIEW Resort on Lake Poinsett. http://lakeviewresortlakepoinsett.com/5736.html

SNOLF was a blast!!

39 SNOLFERS gathered at LAKEVIEW Resort between 1 and 1:30. The scramble tournament was over after almost two hours of snow fun in a winter wonderland (see pictures). Two teams tied for first place and shared the prize money. Door prizes were awarded and all were invited to share in the snacks. The day's entertainment ended with DJ and Karaoke music. Date was set for next year. The Saturday of President's Day Weekend--February 19, 2011...

POOTER menu at LAKEVIEW Resort

Introducing the POOTER menu, for those times when lunch or dinner is just not what you want. Tease your appetite with the appetizer menu. Look for the POOTER menu on each table and read what food critic and blogger, Doug Lund (from KELO-land) reported about the delicious LAKEVIEW mozzarella sticks and onion rings. http://blogs.keloland.com/blog/index.cfm?commentID=1588

My Ground Hog Predition

Okay, maybe nobody cares. Ground Hog's Day has come and gone. But I want to go on the record using the ground hog/shadow criteria. I predict the first day of consistent, spring-like weather won't come until the first day of April (which is almost two weeks after the official first day of spring) because Ground Hog's Day began overcast (no shadow) but as the day went on the sun kept peeking out (shadow) and then back to overcast. So not a definite "only six more weeks of winter" but not a go on forever winter, either.
