Cramped
Too early yesterday morning after not enough sleep the girls clamored into bed. One wanted to get up. The other wanted more room. I just wanted to sleep. Not having any of that in my own bed, I stormed out looking for a bed where I could get some peace. Abigail’s was the first I […]
Ready For Winter
Got all our gear tuned and leased. Of course Abigail’s excited to try snowboarding this year. The deal was she could try snowboarding once she comfortably skied all the blue (intermediate) slopes at Bear Creek. Since she’s done that and an expert slope, she gets to try snowboarding.

Ow! My Eye!
Abigail accidentally poked me in the eye and broke a blood vessel a few weeks ago. Her reaction was priceless. I could feel there was something and figured it was a broken blood vessel. As she stepped away with a frightened and surprised look on her face, I asked if there was a red spot […]

Bat Buddy
For a couple of weeks this guy was roosting during the day in the alcove above our front door. He was pretty big. In general the bats around here appeared to have gotten bigger. Haven’t seen him for a while. Maybe he found a new place to sleep or at least warmer considering the change […]
