Tuesday evening

I was just reading Martha Stewart's blog and she said that a group of crows is called a "murder".   I saw quite a large gathering of them today as I was taking my three mile walk on the bike trail.  Dave, our handyman, work on cleaning the small decorative rocks around the motel.  They looked so much better without all the leaves and branches in them.  Tonight Lee and I are going to go and enjoy the hot tub and the fingernail moon.

Wednesday

Lee is going pheasant hunting this weekend out near Sedgwick.  He is going with four of his nephews.  Should be a fun time if the wind isn't blowing.   I'll stay here at the motel and get some things done.  It's 35 degrees here right now.

Martin Luther King Day

Today is a legal holiday, but for us at the Circle R Motel, its just another work day.  Up at 6:30am to have flavorful coffee ready for guests.  Beautiful sunrise to the west.  Sunshine in today's forcast. Perfect day for a day of skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, or just getting out of the city.

Friday the 13th

One theory behind Friday the 13th being an unlucky day is that Judas, who betrayed Jesus, was the 13th and last person to arrive at the last supper.  That coupled with Jesus dying on a Friday gives Friday the 13th its bad rap.  Don't let that stop you from coming to ski at Monarch this weekend.  Stay at the Circle R Motel.  

Fresh air

While it is snowing in Denver, its nice and sunny here.  The air is fresh and clean.  Hot tub has sprung another leak.  A brand new hot tub would be nice, but alas, wrong time of year for major investments.  Dave, our manager, continues to do battle!

Monday

What I love best about Colorado is that snow melts quickly in town.  Didn't even have to shovel the sidewalks.  I can go for a walk on the bike path later on in day.  It's three miles round trip.

Snow day

Winter has returned.  We were getting a little spoiled with the sunny, warm weather.  The ski resort has fresh snow (just 25 miles) and so business in town should be picking up.
