New friends visit from Tennessee






New friends came to visit us in December! We met this fabulous TENNESSEE (what a coincidence!) couple while backpacking this fall in Zion National Park. They flew out and stayed with us for a week. I was really hoping they would quit their jobs back in TN and just move in with us so we can play together everyday. HA! I wish! And so do they!

A Teton Valley Thanksgiving



Record Snow Fall

Grand Targhee Ski Resort has been getting hammered by blizzard conditions and winter storm warnings bringing them to open the resort one week early. Last winter the resort opened one week late with limited lift access. Only the bunny hill was open for 3 weeks before they opened the rest of the resort. This season begs to be different! The snowfall totals, as of this morning are, 124 inches, and with this being a La Nina winter, we are expecting a record snowfall season. I'm glad I have a wonderful work schedule that allows me to take full advantage of a La Nina ski season! Stay tuned!

The Dude Abides--Halloween Style

If you've seen the movie The Big Lebowski then you will understand my costume. Of course I would run into someone else wearing the same costume but they didn't get 1st runner up in the costume contest like I did! It must have been my mustache on a stick that won the judges over. I didn't want to draw one on my face or wear a stick on face beard so I made my beard/mustache combo out of construction paper and taped it to a chop stick. And yes, I eventually lost it.
