Snow Plow

Nothing like spending the day on the slopes. The adrenaline rush of bombing down the hill, the spectacular views from the top of the mountain, the awkward conversations with strangers on the chairlift and the relief of taking my feet out of the ski boots at the end of the day.... I love it all.....

Here are some photos taken on the slopes over the years....

Love Nan's Moose Skin Mittens

Lunchtime !

Dede owning the Walrus !

The beginning of Nan's knee problems

Me, Greg King and Ian Segal in Colorado for Spring Break

The Clan at King Ridge

I don't think I can lift my leg that high anymore....

Dad skiing in the Alps ?

Papa Olen and the fantastic 7

I think this was deep into April and very warm @ Stratton

I am not stopping until I hit the lift line !

You'll never catch me !

Glad we don't have to do this anymore.....

Three kids - no poles

Jake after his first day on the slopes. Bit of a rough day....

That probably did not end well...

Good shot of the King Ridge lodge

Joy to the World !

It is the 'most wonderful time of the year' as it provides time to spend with family, puts us in the giving spirit and celebrates the birth of Christ. Not to mention it is prime egg nog season. Below are a collection of Christmas time photos....

Christmas in Minnesota

And where, exactly, is MY stocking ?? The forgotten middle child....

Not sure I want this shepherd watching my flocks at night.

No problems with Christmas spirit here.....

I have seen some bad Christmas trees but.....

The scene at the Surro Christmas Eve party. Nan and Jeff in the house !

One stocking was never enough for Catherine !

Albino tree ? Not on my watch !

Don't look very excited to be with old Saint Nick.

That is more like it !

This is what I have to work with when trying to get a Christmas card photo !

Opus !

Making Christmas cookies. Hopefully the Natick board of health does not follow this blog

Christmas in our Norwood apartment. The Winnie the Pooh ornament really pulls the tree together

Grandpa Kuhn excited with his Auto Vacuum Cleaner

Dede: "I don't trust that kid with these ornaments"

25 feet ! With my stupid human eyes I can only see 22 feet...

I need to get more excited !

Hmmm...Barbies Friendship with a pilot....

"Great a map puzzle...all I wanted was Barbie Friendship"

The year my Mom asked for a toaster and got three !

Good Rudolph joke Santa !

Did I borrow Dede's blouse ? Is that a Christmas Tree ?

Giving my boys stars that look like weapons was not a good call....

Merry Christmas !

Gather Around The Table

Thanksgiving is a time when friends and family gather around the table to enjoy a feast. This ritual of meeting around a table for a meal is not confined to this one holiday. Here are a collection of some food being share around a table.
