Mike…

It’s been awhile since I’ve shared Mike with you and of course you know how a mom has to brag sometimes about her only son. So get ready cuz I have a few really good things to share.

First of all, in all my life I have never gotten a gift like this.

It is beautiful.

Now last month Mike finished up evening welding classes. He is now a certified entry level welder. He plans on going on but is now looking into Rescue and Recovery. So the next thing is to become a Master Diver, meaning Minnesota School of Diving. Anyways, back to school, Mike aced his final exam and this was his final project. It’s a 4’ fire ring. Pretty darn cool. He still wants to sand blast it and paint it.

For Christmas Mike made this pencil holder for his dad. It’s two pliers taken apart and welded back together. He loves fabricating.

Last month Mike’s grandfather sold him his 1969 Arctic Cat Snowmobile. Mike is in love. He has been riding all the time and also taking Scott and the kids for rides. He has rolled it twice, busting the windshield but he’s learning what a sled can do and can’t. Like turning on ice. Anyways, here’s some great pictures.

Mike is very talented and that pencil holder is amazing and looks so trendy. Will the fire ring be in your back yard? If so, I will be over this summer for a feast of som'ores!
