Still Christmas Breaking in Colorado

I had a lovely few days out in the mountains. Some highlights:


~Getting to know my sister's in-laws and eating good meals, playing shanghi and cranium and watching Madagascar or featured shows on the discovery channel :) Oh! And playing with Rocky and Willow, their dogs. (Morocco scored, too, with plenty of attention)

~Skiing! I only got three big bruises ;) It was fun, and gorgeous. It was so very different than my brief experiences of Michigan skiing. My favorite was our second day, when it was absolutely clear and sunny and you could see all the peaks of the surrounding mountain ranges.

~Singing hymns like "How Great Thou Art" (partly to keep warm!) on the ski lift when no one was around. Just me, the evergreens and mountains covered in snow, and Jesus :)

~Discovering that I really like eating cheddar cheese while drinking hot chocolate. Don't know why.

~Zooming down Wheeler/Coppertone while taking in the view all by myself and loving the feeling of it.


Pictures are on facebook. Sigh. Only Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at Linde's house! Sunday afternoon I go to my aunt & uncle's to meet back up with my grandma, and then early Monday morning I fly back to Michigan...

And then on the 1st I'm headed back to GRR to do some moving/packing/shopping with Debbi!
