Glad That's Over With!

Well, another birthday down the drain. I may have wanted to ignore it but it seems others did not get the memo. This one was memorable for it's reverse surprise. I flew Jamie in to town to surprise Diane for my birthday! We had a good visit and she and I got a ski day in at Snowbird. In addition to that Mary was in town for some medical tests and I had a real live sibling present on my birthday. I heard from the others by various, mostly digital means. I also got felicitations from Sam and Riley and Sam's girlfriend, Ashley. It was a good day.

Tee Time or Liftline?

I guess it is a good thing I don't play golf(You have to save something for your old age). If I did I would be saddled with the question of whether to play golf or ski. The answer is made for me. I ski. In fact, with some rain down here tonight, which is snow up in the mountains, we are planning a trip to Solitude tomorrow to close out their season. If the weather is nice we will take our lawn chairs and when our legs give out we will have a picnic in the parking lot with the rest of the crazies. Notice the purple haired chick who wandered into our area in a previous last day outing. Who knows what we will see tomorrow!

Winter Won't Leave

I love the snow but it is April now and it is time for other activities in the valley and shoveling snow is not one of them. We have been getting storm after storm this week. Of course I am working everyday this week and can't get up to go skiing. Maybe I can get up there one day this weekend. I am really not ready to put the skiis away yet, anyway. Spring can't be to far away, or can it?

Still Winter!

We have had snowstorms all week with more forecast for the next two days. I like winter but I also like the other seasons and I don't think winter should hog the entire year. It is time to say goodbye but it just won't go away.  This time of year we usually just get rain in the valley and the snow stays in the mountains. This year the snow is lingering in the valley.  I must say it makes for good skiing and it should bode well for our water year and the fish just love water.
