Sitting by the chiminea next to the pool on a cool January evening. We enjoyed some Boursin cheese, table water crackers and chardonay while listening to the creek and the hoot owls.
After family Christmas in Texas we took off for a week with Jev and Sydnor (and daughter Tori) in their Colorado home just five minutes from the lift. Michael, here from Stockholm, Ethan and Kelly went with us to ski the Rockies. Aside from one snowy day the weather was clear and crisp, perfect for carving our turns.
Watching the Rose Bowl after a long day on the slopes. The University of Texas beat University of Michigan by one point in the final two seconds!
Sunny day and freshly groomed slopes are ideal for some really good runs. Can you guess who took this telephoto picture?
Miles to the South rise the Flat-tops at first light. This is a great place to hike in the summer.
At the end of our first day skiing we collapsed into comfy chairs and enjoyed this splendid light show.
We met at mid-mountain for a delicious Scandinavian meal. Kelly was in a snowboard class on the bunny slope while Syd and Tori stayed home.
We are resting up over hot chocolate and pizza from an early morning ski of the top of the mountain.
Welcome to Steamboat Springs, CO for a week of skiing and visiting with Jev and Sydnor.
After a hard day on the slopes Kelly and Ethan soak their bods in the hottub downstairs.
"...and then I want an Alfa Romeo, and an ice cream cone, and a diamond ring, and ..."
At Ann and Ollie's lake house 'Taco-roll' Jake tells a tale about his life in the Windy City while Mike, Lorn, Etha, Lowry and Alaire are enthralled.
The awful family secret is finally revealed: Drew's 'hidden' twin Zeke showed up for the first time shocking the entire family.
Ham, peas, scalloped potatoes, cranberry-orange relish, Waldorf salad and three kinds of pie - mmmmm good!
Lorn, Ethan and Tom lobbed paper balls across the room during the present opening.
Commanding the center spot in our music room between A's old harp and Santa's new cushion.
Sam, Mike's old friend from Boy Scout days, came over and helped break some tough ledge stone for Tom's water 'feature.'
Michael and Tiki share a quiet moment in the sun before the celebrating hoard arrives. Tiki really enjoys playing on the Music Room carpet.
December 17 at our office party dinner. M arrived from Stockholm just in time for our party. He is wearing his new leather jacket. Now, who is that between T and M?
Here is the best exposition I have found on this subject. http://www.rebeccablood.net/handbook/excerpts/weblog_ethics.html#content
We ate sumptous food, danced to the band, listened to a fantastic blues singer, and visited with friends at Tommy and Laura's annual party at the Four Seasons.
