The Last Snow Storm??
Yesterday my drive to work was the worst one of the year due to the road conditions and snow.
Hopefully this is the last storm of the year. It's really pretty but very heavy because of the water content. Guess it's good for the water table and the wildflowers. Arn was returning from Santa Fe from a golf trip so he wasn't around to keep up with the shoveling. When I left work (downtown Co. Springs) there was nothing on the ground and only a light drizzle. Monument got a couple feet of snow and as I neared our street there were lots of broken branches and trees due to the heavy snow. It's supposed to be in the 60's tomorrow so we decided to just let it melt and do the old 'drive on it and smash it down' thing. I did get out my snowshoes for the first time this year. Maggie came along as we trudged around our lot and the neighboring lots.
She had lots of trouble walking because the snow was so deep and heavy. Will there one more?? I hope not, I'm ready for spring!

Chops and Eric visit!
Eric was in town and we were glad that he and Chops came down for breakfast before he returned to Dickinson. Chops is such a cute puppy and so well behaved. We got to see all of his tricks and training in action. So what is he to Maggie? Sibling? Nephew? Anyway it was fun to see Eric and Chops. Thanks Eric! Missed you, Val. Love ya, miss ya, mean it....

Our new fav....OPH!
After mass on Easter Sunday we headed to Boulder since Ty and Mere didn't come home for the day. Of course the Easter bunny had to make a delivery. Valerie received hers by mail in Dickinson. Arn and Grandma had watched the food channel and saw a show about the Original Pancake House. They have them in many locations (check their website) and luckily one was located in Boulder. The portions are huge and the food was great. They do the souffle type skillet pancakes with apples, crepes, and 5 egg oven omelets. We went over to Tyler's apt. so Grandma could see Ty's chameleon and then took a drive up to Nederland (home of the Frozen Dead Guy). Meredith participated in the Frozen Dead Guy Coffin Race at the festival this year. She could have viewed the dead guy but didn't want to pay the fee ($25.00). I guess that fee covers the cost of the dry ice through out the year. We drove on thru the town and made a beautiful loop thru Gold Hill and back to Boulder. I think Gold Hill is an old mining town. The scenery was beautiful. We had another snow storm last night, school was cancelled, and we've already shoveled out. The temp. tomorrow is supposed to be 60 degrees. Hopefully the wildflowers will be abundant this year.
