... vinna mot killarna tills slutet när vi av ett litet litet misstag fick i 8:an!

På torsdagen som var självaste Thanksgiving blev vi (liksom alla andra i byn) inbjudna till brandstationen där kommunens invånare bjöd på den klassiska måltiden. Personalen bestod av frivilliga från kyrkan, banken och andra ställen. Gästerna var byns personal, invånare och turister som vi. Precis som att någon donerat maten donerade vi i ...

... Dagen var i lördags (igår), som började redan på fredagskvällen då vi hela familjen hängde på REIs flagship store (en suverän butik för allt outdoor liv) nere i stan. Ola behövde telemarksskidor (hade med sig telemarkspjäxor och slalomskidor från Sverige, ingen bra kombination) och jag behövde en hjälm. Kom hem med det och massor med skidstrumpor. Fick också provat senaste modellen av telispjäxor, och efter det är jag helt säker på vad jag önskar mig ...

... ghostly after labor day weekend. Nic and I would like to throw a huge THANK YOU! out to Trish and Moe who have lent us their condo for a few days. We are very much enjoying it. It's a bit more roomier than the van, and has ESPN which has made Nic a very happy man.

We don't want to get used to being indoors, so we're pretty sure that we are going to leave this life of ...

... is about 10 minutes from Aunt B’s house. It was pretty creepy driving up to it…I remember seeing footage of it on TV on the day that all that madness went down, and seeing it in person was a little eerie. I peeked in the windows of the library and got the chills. So sad…I can’t believe it happened 10 YEARS ago! I can’t believe its been that long already, I was a freshman in high school! Anyways, we went next door to this HUGE ...

... those that don’t live in CO that means 14,000 or 13,000 foot peaks) as an alternative, of course on the surface I was game for either, but hello the last time I got up at 4 am to hike I was going off to a war zone with patriotic music in the background. So it was decided since Sarah and her husband had spent about 12 hours on Sat hiking a 14er (once again is the country calling your service with Lee Greenwood "proud to be an American" playing in the background) it ...

... br>down we passed lakes, waterfalls and had the most gorgeous scenery of snow-capped mountains. The first 10 miles were on a paved path where there was no motor vehicle traffic. The last 8 were a combination of road & the Gore Creek Path. If you do not have a free shuttle or driver to the top you can set up a tour with Charter Sports for $45.

... that wetted my palatte, however the rest of the group were salivating at the selection of seafood. My options came down to either a Cobb Salad or an Asian Chicken Salad. I was leaning towards the Cobb, mainly due to my relatively new obsession with Avocados, however my husband Curt convinced me to do the Asian. It was good...but I seriously think I would have enjoyed the avacados more!

This year we skied for two weeks and both spring skiing and some good snow. We skied Breckenridge, Keystone, Vail, and Arapahoe Basin. One day Peter and Ron took the day off and went fly fishing with a guide in Silverthorne. It was cold and they caught one fish but they still had a good time. Mike and Laurie joined us for a couple of days which was great!

... I guess that option wasn't any better. So, we loaded up my little Cavalier, and after leaving much later on Saturday, February 23 than I would have preferred, we were off. We stayed in Kansas the first night. I forget which town. The 2nd day we reached Colorado around mid day. When you are on I-70, and you first drive into Colorado, it still looks like Kansas. It takes some time before you get to where you can see the mountains as a dark strip along the distant horizon ...
