end of 2012

Today is December 23.  Sunday.  Where has the year gone? 

We have some snow on the ground outside and it looks like it is snowing at Monarch.  Great day for snowboarding or skiing.   Winter came late this year, but it seems to be here now.

There is really not much to talk about.  Later today my daughter will come home and we are going to make some gingerbread cookies.  I told my mom I would make her gingerbread cookies if she made me some home-made toffee and she agreed. 

As a child, our family would drive 1.5 days from California to Colorado to see the grandparents.  We passed through all the small towns decorated with Christmas lights.  My grandparents were so happy to see us.  My mom's mother and I would bake gingerbread cookies during the week.   We drove up to their cabin and cut down a Christmas tree.  We did it every year for over 15 years. 

Merry Christmas everyone.....
