Yesterday I got out my ski gear, went to AAA to see what they had on Colorado ski resorts, got a trip tik (directions to Arapaho Basin Ski Area), and watched the weather at 5:00 P.M. The weather forecast was for high winds with a blizzard coming in during the afternoon. I got up early this morning, looked at the Colorado Highway Department web cams around the Eisenhower Tunnel showing blowing snow, and finally decided to postpone until later.

Parents will appreciate this:
This noon I was helping feed one of the grandtwins. I had just put a spoonful of carrots in his mouth when he sneezed. He plastered himself all over, his father who was about a foot away feeding the other grandtwin, and part of my left arm. Eric took a picture, texted it to Keri, who replied that it brightened her day.

Finally:
I went to our group mailboxes just as the lady carrier was finishing loading the individual boxes. She smiled and wished me a Happy Thanksgiving. After my post of a few day ago, it almost tarnished my image of the US Postal Service until I realized she wasn't indoors working at a station and could actually be friendly. I now know one postal worker who smiles. Will there be a second in my future?
