MOUNTAIN GETAWAY WITH FRIENDS

We enjoyed a few days last week with our friends, the Martins in Breckenridge. We snowboard; skied at A-Basin, Breck, and Keystone. I have to say that we all enjoyed Keystone as the lines were minimal. The weather was great! It felt like spring skiing. However, we continue to pray for more snow as there are not many runs open on the mountains so it tends to get congested with everyone coming down at the same time. Poor Jake, gets a little overwhelmed with the teenagers whizing by. It's amazing we haven't had more crashes. We stayed at an unbelievable home in Breck with awesome views of the mountains. We played farkel(dice game) and watched Kong Fu Panda, David and the boys made a snowman out front, Suzanne made dinners while David made breakfast - all so yummy, poor Tim had aching feet after trying hysterically to get his feet into his boots, while my heated boots were a blessing from above (D), we also managed to go out a couple of nights for dinner and visit the town. And, before I forget - while my heart continued to beat - David did great on the mountains. He did a few small jumps which I wasn't happy about so friends and family feel free to send him an email and give him a hard time! Thanks again Tim, Suzanne, and boys for a great memory! Nicky, we missed you with us! I know you had a great time in California with Vincent and family.

UPDATE ON THE BASEMENT

David traveled last week and sent me some flowers..:) I took the outer trim off the garage when getting his big _ _ s truck out of the garage. :( He was so sweet when I told him; he just wanted to be sure we were alright. He is my gem! Now, he needs to fix before the snow comes. He is also doing a great job on the basement. Here are a few pictures of the tiling in the bathroom and the window seat he built over the weekend. I'm still painting..ha. The folks we ordered our cabinets from had to re-do one of the cabinets as the measurements were off when trying to put in the microwave in the drawer. So, because of this delay we have to wait on the installation of the granite. We also had to pick another counter for the bathroom as the original one we selected was out of stock. We went down to the store and picked a really nice stone that has all the colors of the mountains throughout. We are very excited as things are all coming together. Cross our fingers by Spring that it will all be said and done.
