Almost Famous

I've been getting a lot of requests for updates on the ice rink. We were holding out to give more news because two weeks ago a NY Times reporter contacted DG about doing a story on our backyard rink for the outdoor living section of their magazine. She had done a search and found DGs blog entry. We were not only excited but also abuzz about the power of the BLOG!

After several phone calls and emails, DG learned yesterday that they decided to go with a story of a Michigan man who builds an ice wall in his backyard. Definitely an edgier story.

It is probably for the best. Two weeks ago, we started watering the hole in our yard for hours at a time with the sprinkler. We got some good layers of ice, but it is not as smooth as we want. We got a squeegie and plan on trying to finish it this weekend anyway. Though there are two frozen poopsicles in it already. (sorry mom)
