Last night we loaded up the kids and dog and headed for the hills. It was snowing hard in Denver and we actually had a brief break while driving up to the mountains. However by the time we hit Frisco it was coming down hard again and continued all the way into Vail.
Early in the morning Lori and I ran to the mall to exchange and return a few gifts. Thanks to the snow in Denver, that was still coming down strong, we beat the crowds. We arrived by 8:30 or so and were on our way home within an hour.
Ty went to Vinny’s at 2pm while we packed what we needed to take along. We picked him up a bit after 3 and were off.
Today I think Lori and I are going cross country skiing and then will get the boys up and moving for a hike or something. It’s cold up here, like 2 degrees or something and the highs will be in the teens and the lows a few degrees below zero for the next few days.
Tomorrow I’m leaving everyone up here and going to the football game with some friends from Vail and then driving back up after the game. I have lots of friends that drive down every week so it’s nothing for them and I’m just going to let them drive so Lori has the car.
Jagger has a doctor appointment up here at 8:15 Monday and hopefully he’ll be losing his cast soon.
Eleanor commented yesterday, thanks! Regarding Bob’s obituary, it’ll be up probably next week. Lori searched through a bunch of pictures and then had to mail them to Dixie as we couldn’t get the right resolution on the computer as they were so old. I think in March we’re flying out as a family and will have a memorial service. We’ll let everyone know as soon as we set a date. Lori joked that if there’s no obituary, her dad’s not really gone! That’s one way to deal with it. Anyhow we hope you (Eleanor) are doing ok. I’m sure this is not easy on you either as the holidays are an especially tough time for this sort of thing.
Time to run, Mojo wants to go chase some deer or something. Hope everyone is well, take care and God Bless.
