winter life

We were graciously invited north for a cabin weekend.  It took our tribe two vehicles to get all the winter gear up there and even stopped for some great burgers on the way.  Life is life and sometimes it is important that we get reminded as to how great it is and how relatively good we have it.  While sitting at the restaurant our hosts informed us that although they had already made it to the cabin that the pipes had frozen and therefore there was no running water.  No worries we just grabbed a couple of gallons of water.  Water goes fast when it doesn't flow freely from the tap.  It was still an enjoyable evening around the fire with good conversation and plenty of laughs.  The morning however found us very low on propane for cooking and heating and it was certainly time to head back home.  We arrived home in time to unpack and have a little lunch before heading back out to snowshoe for a couple of hours.  It was enough to put us all into a relaxed state and gorgeous temps to traverse the frozen creeks and steep hills of the nearby topography.  Sunday's temps were in the single digits and while not cold for what we have become accustomed too it did seem brisk enough to not push too hard when the kids decided to play around the house rather than hit the ski trails.
