A Gentleman

Back at it...

Yesterday afternoon the doctor gave me permission to get rid of the cast and start working it.  So, here I am, back at the gym!

Temps in the Teens

It felt like a heat wave, so we headed to the beach!  And there we discovered that even Santa had stripped down!!

New View

We're not real pleased about all the logging that is going on up the road, but it sure has improved the view coming down the hill!

Black Mountain

Last summer we ran a 5k to raise funds for the small ski resort, Black Mountain.   We're awfully glad that we did.  We went up there yesterday afternoon to see big brother qualify as an alternate for the Maine J2 team, which will travel to Vermont to compete against skiers from all over New England.  He was quite impressed with their Nordic course, as he should be since it is International quality and they also host Olympic qualifiers.  And...the younger kiddos finally got to play on the slopes!

OHCHS Nordic Team

No matter how cold and tired they were, they still posed for me on those snowy steps...thanks guys! 

Let's try a biathlon!

This morning Roberts Farm Preserve hosted a biathlon, which is an event that we have long wanted to try...

What we discovered is that although little brother may not be able to ski as fast, he can shoot better, which means fewer penalty laps!  He didn't miss a single target, which really impressed all the rifle attendants, as well as his grandfather who taught him how to shoot. 

He was pretty darn proud.  (And so was Grammie, of course.)

They all placed in their divisions and earned some really cool trophies:

Morning Commute

Vitamin D Deficiency

You know you're desperate for sunshine when it's only 15 degrees out, but you've got the sunroof open anyway!

Howdy, Savannah!
