Winter fun with Texas family

Fun times with company! James took exactly five minutes after arrival to march out into the snow and sled? Jumping over the fence was just a tad harder than it looked...

Drop dead gorgeous weather here. Paul, Sherry, James, and Katie had a fantastic first day skiing (snowboarding for James). The rest of the week is supposed to be the same. Bright sun, blue skies, and 40. What's not to love? Krissy, again, we miss you!! Mark and I were supposed to ski as well but somehow didn't have the energy. Well, we can pick and choose our day and time. Better get on with it though, the mountain closes in less than a month now. How did the time go by so fast?

Fox roaming around our house. Their coats are so beautiful and their hunting technique amazing. Jumping straight up in the air to dive down into the snow headfirst after listening intently for their rodent prey. Not worrying anymore about their winter survival. No rodents in our house by the way (or flies either) after the pest control guy came last Sept.

Mark's long lens camera
Mark's camera again -great closeup
Finished a book- A Time of Gifts by Patrick Leigh Fermor, an autobigraphical travel story about his adventures tramping around Europe in the 1930's (just before World War II broke out). Very good and I'm getting his second, which is the continuation of the 3 year story. He died last year at 96 - long accomplished life. I'm still reading Atlas Shrugged, in bits and pieces - boy it's a struggle. I'll get it done eventually...
