As promised...pics from December, 2009 visit

Our final day was pretty much spent relaxing, and watching football on the newly working TV.  As promised, here are some pics from the trip.

 
Shangri La, in all it's winter splendor!



Just a tad bit of snow.  We were actually hoping for more.



The new kitchen table.



Shampoo dispenser to de-clutter the shower.



How about that picture!  We bought a digital converter box to make the old analog TV work, and connected it to the outside antenna.  Six crystal clear channels and just in time for the Rose Bowl!



The antenna.



1970's vintage gas stove, which we're afraid to use.  Hence the new toaster oven.



We needed a clock for the living room.  Found this in the basement and cleaned it up.



It was a tad cold as we were heading back home this morning.  Yeah, but it's a dry cold...



The snow was drifting pretty high along the road.  There's a field here which we're normally able to see.



Had me wishing I could turn right around, go back to the house, and sit in front of the wood stove.

  2. It is cool, isn't it? :) We feel very fortunate. We'd love to take you guys up there for a visit, but it's far enough away that you guys would probably need to fly. ;) Heck...it's a 7 1/2 hour drive for us. :p
