First Winter Snow

The first significant snowfall of the winter hit us pretty good yesterday. We ended up with about 6 inches of fresh powder on the ground here in Morgan. It was sweet justification for my last years Christmas gift I bought for myself, the SNOWTHROWER!!

I used it once or twice last year, but have already used it three times this year. My neighbors to both sides are from the South, so we pitched in and helped them out.

Today, we walked across the street and hit the slope. Our plastic sleds managed to pick up some speed, and moved the boys right along. We all had a good time, until Amy hit a rock, breaking a snow sled, and bruising her region. Looks like a long cold winter for me :(

Amy's work party was last week, at Taggart's Grill. Her boss sure treats us well, and the bonus was nice. I took my 4 hour's paid leave from the governor Thursday, and with two weeks use it or loose it time, I'm done working for the year. We graduated our last class of cadets Wednesday. It was awesome to see them make it out alive. We are still waiting to see where I placed on the Lieutenants roster. It is nice not to really care about it, because I'm happy where I am and with what I'm doing.
