December 1st 2014
Winter has arrived here in Boulder and the mountains are starting to fill up with snow. We had a busy fall. Anna made several college visit tours. She spent alot of time on applications. She got to be the Stage Director for the One Acts, a series of student directed one act plays. The show ran for four days.
Emily and I brought our bicycles out to Healdsburg CA for some riding in wine county. We had a wonderful week riding, eating great food and of course tasting the local wines. I did discover that doing a wine tasting 5 miles into a 35 mile ride was not the best idea.
My mom fly out from Cleveland for Thanksgiving. We made it to the Boulder Dinner Theater Stage for Fiddler on the Roof. It was a well done show. We had a delicious Thanksgiving day dinner.
Jay has been hard at work up at Champlain College. He was able to get down to Boston with his roomate for Thanksgiving at Dan and Colleens. He will be home for Winter Break in only a few more weeks. And then its up to Montreal for the second semester of his Junior year.
Last Saturday, it was suppose to be in the 50s in the moring before a front blew in and the temperature dropped. Emily and I planned a mountain bike ride. Unfortunately, the front blew in early and we rode in 28 degree weather. Oh yeah, we also got a 50cc scooter to get around town when the weather is good. And for some reason, my phone's camera got set on a filter that yellowed my pictures, so sorry for the odd tint on some of them and thank you Anna for discovering the filter.
