Skiing ~ It's Cold Out There
January 23, 2012
Damien and I grew up on the Canadian prairies. We're no wimps when it comes to cold. But our years of living in the northeastern US (one of the coldest corners of that country) spoiled us a bit. Maine is not as cold as Alberta. The longer growing season attests ...
Skiing ~ Up, Down & Through The Woods
January 21, 2012
You know me, I can't keep my mouth shut so the past two "photo" posts (getting there and back and to the mountains we go) in my week of skiing have had their fair share of words. Which of course means the writing I was supposed to be doing is ...

Christmas is a three day celebration for our family. Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day. Unless of course we spend Christmas with both sides of our families, which extends quite a few days. But that doesn't happen too often considering the distance between us - many, many miles. This ...
Our First Week on Skis - A Dream Come True
December 17, 2011
It has been our long term goal to ski together for winter outdoor activity. We are committed to one day a week and this is fairly easy for three seasons of the year but winter has been tough to figure out. We tried snowshoes when the kids were little. Snowshoes ...
