Brenden at Superbowl 2012

Brenden sent me these photos of his trip to Indianapolis to partake in the Superbowl festivities. Brenden drove to Minneapolis and picked up friends and then drove to Chicago. In Chicago they rented a limo and had it take them to Indianapolis to party during the game and then taken them back later that night. Judy was jealous that she wasn't going. However she would have been arrested for her behavior after the Pats lost.

Brenden and his college roommate, Joel Heine.

Kyle is in Indianapolis for the Superbowl festivities. His frat won VIP tickets to the Payton Manning and Katy Perry Party and Fray Concert. His brother Brenden (and 7 friends) are joining him on Sunday there. Go Pats! He sent us these photos.

Brewing Beer!

Judy gave me for Christmas a gift certificate to brew beer.

We met some friends on Jan. 31 and brew three batches. I made a Honey Porter.

We will be getting back together in two weeks to bottle it. If you come and visit us - you can try it!


Group Photo!

This is the label I designed for the bottles.

Janet Koglin and Mary Farley's Families

My cousin Mary (Ryan) Farley sent me this photo. It was taken at Easter time in 2011. And I believe it is of all her and her sister Janet's kids. Maybe she will send me the names. Janet is on the far left and Mary is on the far right.

Parker's 5th Grade Graduation

I cam across an old film camera of mine and noticed that I had taken some photos with it. I had no clue how long ago, so I rewound it and had the roll processed. Well they were from 2007 and Parker's 5th Grade Graduation. Here he is with two of his friends, Kevin Dober and Tucker Marr.

Wedding Reception at Zorbaz's on Little Pine Lake!

Elizabeth and Katie Korzenowski with Amber on Fall Lake.

And my favorite - Ham Salad rom Zupp's Grocery Store in Ely. They sell 2 varieties and always give out samples. If you like ham salad - and I do - it is the best.

Anastasia and Gabe cross country skiing.

Wolfs in Ely, Minnesota!

My brother-in-law, Kyle Korzenowski sent me these photos. They were taken on Fall Lake just off shore from his cabin. He spotted wolf tracks on Thursday, evening (Dec. 29) when he was skiing on the lake at dusk. He also found fresh wolf tracks in his yard and woods onto the lake on Friday morning. There was a lone wolf finishing off the carcass when he got up in the morning, but it ran across the lake as he got down to the lake with his camera.
