the coming days & ones past

today we woke up to snow! 

april 13! snow! i remember when we got snow on april fools day, i thought that was a joke. but this is the middle of april,

its not funny. 

mum and dad came down for the whole easter weekend which was lots of fun. today was the last day the hill was open so we all went up yesterday for schnai dai which was a hoot. they had a slush cup and the whole shebang. 

i'm a cross country skier normally and usually go down major hills on a snowboard (with very little success mind you). dad's always been a skier and last time they were down he convinced me to try the double foot board method & so far its proven to be my first choice for speedy hill descents. i'm still pretty slow, but phenomenally good for only day two! we had a super great time - a little sun, a little snow and we went out for an awesome dinner at the end of the day! 

mum & dad left first thing this morning & travis started his course today, so i had the house to myself. i started to get stuff in order for our departure.  it seems like there is tones to do, but there’s really not that much. we're going to keep our place, so we just have to get our stuff packed up and we're good to go! i'm trying to get all my recipes all sorted out, which seems harder then the reality. its just the procrastination that i have to get past. but once i realize that its not really that hard...everything comes easier! i assume! 

no, i really did start today..so i'm on my way. :) 

my taxes on the other hand. won't go there. 

hey - i've been busy! its spring!!! 

i did make a cheese cake. which seems to have turned out totally lovely! it will sit over night and then tomorrow i'll make a sour cherry sauce for it.

i'll let ya know!

ta, ta.
