Greetings from Grand Junction, CO

December 28, 2006 by David.

Two days before Christmas, Sharlet’s 17 year old niece was killed in a car accident.  So sad.  Sharlet was in Hawaii with her new-born grandchild at the time.  The brother of the niece that died is stationed in Hawaii so she was able to be the comforting aunt for him.  At this point, we are driving the pickup 1500 miles to Utah for the funeral.  Yesterday we went through Vail.  I haven’t been there for over ten years.  We are scrambling to beg and borrow ski clothes so on the way back we can stay a day or two and ski.  It just so happens my sister has a time share in Vail and will be arriving the day we are heading back home.  So since all of our ski equipment and clothing is buried deep in a storage unit, we have to come up with some ski clothes, which it looks like we’ll be able to do.  We may look like we have misfitting clothes from decades ago, but, dang, we’ll be skiing Vail - a first for Sharlet.

Thus, I may not have many posts to the blog for a week or so…
