Welcome to my blog!  I hope to keep in touch with family and friends old and new, near and far, and will strive to educate and entertain along the way.

It’s fitting that my first blog post is the first day of ski season in Colorado.  I love snow, and judging from the giddy “first chair” crazies at Arapahoe Basin today, I’m not the only one.  If you don’t live here, you should know that while a couple of places do start making snow early in the season, most ski areas don’t open until around Thanksgiving, and some not until mid-December.  That’s fine with me.  I’m usually enjoying Autumn things like pumpkins and turning leaves, and am not quite ready for the snow any earlier than that.

Today was a beautiful Fall Day, all sunshine and a little breezy.  I stayed in all day setting up this blog to celebrate.  🙂
