| Top of Pillar before the sun came out |
Friday was a weird day. Nora was sick and stayed home from school and most of the day it was cloudy and gloomy. But in the evening it cleared off and got beautiful. I helped Nora with her paper route, and after being cooped up all day she wanted to go somewhere. So we drove up Pillar Mountain and checked out the snow and windmills. Not enough snow for skiing - sigh - but it looked like it might be great sledding.
Saturday was beautiful - sunny and the temperature got up into the upper 50's (yuck). It was a sun-blasted day and by afternoon everybody was a little tired. Stuey and I ended up in a Monopoly and Backgammon marathon. First Monopoly and then later backgammon. It killed me to play board games while it was sunny outside. But we had gotten our outside time.
As regards Monopoly - once started at that game the whole world is at bay. I felt bad for Stuey when during a tightly contested game he landed on Chance and it said to advance his token to to Boardwalk where I had just built hotels. He had just used all his free capital building hotels on the New York, Tennessee, and St James. Game over. Dessert at dinner cheered him up and then it was backgammon. .. ..
Sunday was back to Friday - drizzling and cloudy. We went sledding and skiing at the pass. Sort of sad to see what the 50 degree temperatures and sunshine had done to the snowpack the day before. Patrick
