Good bye, Ely… (sniff, sniff…) I’m going to miss you!

Home/Ducker's Adventures/Good bye, Ely… (sniff, sniff…) I’m going to miss you!

Ms. Terri says these are our last pictures. It has been so much fun exploring in this frozen land. Even though it is cold outside, the people have been very warm and friendly.

Snow Power
Snow Power! I bet this guy could knock you out cold! Those carvers come up with everything.
One mean trick
Some people never learn. This is somebody's tongue stuck to a flag pole. Don't let anybody pull this trick on you. I'm glad this tongue is made out of snow and not a real one.
Snow dragon
This dragon better not try to breathe any fire or it might cause his mouth to melt! Doesn't he look sharp!
Snow peephole
Peeping out through a hole in the snow...
Ducker and Wolf Lake
This is a picture of Wolf Lake as seen from the Shocke's dining room window. The lake is frozen over so you might not have guessed there was a lake there.

It’s sad, but it’s time to go. I’m really going to miss this place. I think my downy feathers have thickened up while I was here. Ms. Terri has been so good to take me everywhere with her. I tried to be good, but you know how it is for a little duck like me… Mr. Terry was nice too.

Here’s a note from Ms. Terry and Mr. Terry:

These pictures are from the last days of the Ely Winter Festival.

A farewell to Wolf Lake, as Ducker looks outside the dining room window of the Schocke’s home.  There is the boat dock buried under several feet of snow, and the frozen lake beyond.

Thanks for coming, Ducker… We enjoyed your visit!

Terri & Terry

P.S.  Now that the snow sculptures are done, the Festival winds down a bit through the coming weekend.  The Mukluk Ball is in Tower, MN., this year.  The Schocke’s won’t be attending because they don’t dance to the Blues.  There is a Dorothy Molter Annual Dinner at the Grand Ely Lodge on Saturday, but I (Terri) have a part to play in preparing for it, so we need to get Ducker on his way…  into the cyber-space-shuttle!  Thanks for coming!

Ducker loves to travel and visit new places. Sometimes he gets restless and quacks and quacks begging Mrs. Green to find someplace where he can go. He travels with the help of the Post Office most of the time since that is cheaper than airline tickets. Contact Janice D. Green if you would like to host Ducker for a visit to someplace special. He behaves himself most of the time.
