Holiday Blues

The holidays are finally over, and while I enjoyed them, I am happy to be done with all the stress associated with this time of year.  D loves the holiday season and I could see sadness in her eyes yesterday as she took down, boxed up and put away all the Christmas decorations.  All except for the snow globes I have given her over the years.  This year I demanded that she leave them out all year to remind her of the holiday season.

Friday I went sledding with J in Rangely ME.  It was a 3.5 hour trip both ways but the conditions were good and we had a great  day on the trails.  We are an odd couple; him with his $10,000 sled and all the expensive riding gear I have purchased for him over the years.  I ride a 16 year-old sled wearing ski pants and jacket.  I don't really care that much though because my money is going to B's education and maybe, one day, to J's.

$10,000+ for sled and equipment for J
$100+ for your 16 year old sled and ski pants and jacket

Sledding on a snowy day with J = priceless

I'm so glad the holidays are over....

I usually enjoy them but this year has been tough.

A $10,000 sled? Seriously?

I mean, you can get one at Walmart for like $20.
