Sledding pictures
Jan. 4th, 2010 10:03 amSince I talked about this so much, I thought I should post this lovely shot Sean M. Murphy got of Mason heading down the Country Club hill on his saucer. This image was taken on Thursday, the last relatively decent day for sledding. Ever since the minus zero windchills have kept us from "the slopes."
Here's another lovely one of the two of us on the inner tube style sled the folks got us. This was one of its last runs. You can see the attempted patch of duck tape shredding underneath. A trip back to the service station showed a whole plethora of holes along the seams, which has doomed the sled, I'm afraid. It just can't keep it's air. However, I was so impressed with the smoothness of the ride, we're going to get another inflatable type the next time it warms up enough to go sledding.
Our New Years was great, btw. We actually stayed up to watch the ball drop, which I haven't done since I was a kid. Shawn and I had champaign and kissed at midnight. The next day we planned to stay in an cook a roast chicken and make the fixings, including homemade bread. Shawn was rather irritated with me because I've been experimenting with bread again and made a very odd onion/sunflower loaf, which wasn't my usual exquisite French bread. My nephew Jon came over and we all ate chicken and put together a puzzle. It was lovely, honestly. (Oh, and earlier, Sean M. Murphy stopped by with these lovely pictures.) A good day.
Plus, yesterday afternoon I finished the reivsions for ALMOST. Now, to continue work on the Mouse book.
