Scares on the Slope (13 Nights of Terror)
For six years now, we have heard the screams when our window is open weekend October nights. During 13 Nights at Jiminy the mountain turns into a terror attraction for Halloween enthusiasts. Every year I swear I’m going to do it. Every year I wuss out. This year my friend had an extra ticket so…

Zephyr Calls me Home Poem
On a recent flight home, I was gifted with a beautiful view our our mountain and our windmill. The Zephyr. On a whim, I decided to create a poem about it, but the creative part of my brain didn’t feel like writing poetry. So I threw some thoughts into MacGPT. Honestly — the results showed…

Chris is Back on Board 😀
And we celebrated by hitting the slopes in June! Better late than never 🙂 Chris has been working impressively and inspirationally hard at regaining mobility and strength since he was injured earlier this year.

Can you imagine how our hearts were beating with excitement when we heard the storm was stuck over our location? Yup. That happened. 36 inches to be exact (25.4 mm). Our electric supply…

Health Issues in March (and mental healing on the slopes)
I’ve been a bit quiet on the blogging, but it’s because life has been full. When not working, I’ve been playing in the snow. It’s been amazing. Remember my posts on how rough this year has been regarding snowfall in the east? Well, I have to say Jiminy Peak (our home mountain) put up an…

A December to Remember
This month was a reminder to never try to plan anything in life. But to also be grateful for the results of the life unplanned. December is a big month for Chris and me. It’s a month that contains (in no particular order): my birthday, our anniversary, Aunt Anne‘s birthday (and several other relatives), my…
