Our New Home

Some of you ask for a picture of our house. This is Friday morning, the day after Thanksgiving, when we awoke to a nice snowfall. For those that have not seen the house before, you can click on "archives" to the right (scroll down to it), and see past postings including short videos.

Powder Hound for Thanksgiving!

POWDER! Our first powder day today as actual residents, rather than as vacationers. We brought our snowboards into the shop for a tune up. They said we were crazy - that Lookout Pass has gotten 18" in the past 12 hours, it was supposed to snow heavy all night long, and continure through tomorrow. So we took our boards back, got up early, and made the drive. Wow! Dumped powder all day, and we rode the entire day. Exhausted, but invigorated. What a blast! It just kept on coming down, and we loved every minute of it. Hard to believe it's still only November! A few pics from the day....

And we can live anywhere?

Took this picture of Laurie today on the chair lift in a big snowstorm. It made me think of what someone said to me a few months ago: because you can work out of a home office, you can work anywhere? Like Arizona or Florida? And you chose Montana? Yes, I replied. Well, doesn't this picture explain it all?

Sold and Closed Our House!

On the Wednesday before Thanksgiving Day, our house closed. It's the end of another Chapter. It's been along haul in a dismal market, and a large load off our mind. We celebrated with a long hike and a Moose Drool beer made in Missoula!

First Day of Snowboarding For The Season

One small ski area was the first to open, so we took advantage of it and boarded yesterday. It's 100 miles from here - but a beautiful drive. Shane came with us - but didn't have his gear, so he went retro with jeans and a MN shirt to make Grandpa happy! Nice to get on the slopes and tell our muscles what to expect in the coming months. Nice blue skies and warm. Made it back into town in time to have a few pints at our favorite local brewery.
