Thanks Giving Dinner and the weather cools down



Breckenridge is where the fun is at next weekend.



Thsi is a snap of the weather this Friday morning in Denver


Well this week is all about thanks giving and we do have a lot to be thankful about. We have both found work, a beautiful home and are now living in a dramatically scenic destination. Denver has turned brown on the landscape for the most part and the winter is starting. The trees are bare and the temperatures continue to wind down into the low 40 degree F. On the way through to the office the temp was 23 Degrees F this morning (or -9 degrees C) but to tell the truth it feels warmer than some of those icy mornings in JHB when the wind blows. Today the weather projects snow but like all weather reports the projection rarely seems to appear as forecasted.

Yesterday was thank giving dinner and we had Art and Melissa and their kids over for thank giving. It was a great feast and we made a turkey and pumpkin pie, with sweet potato and fresh beans and carrots. Once we finished the main meal no one had room to tackle the pumpkin pie so I will have that to eat over the next few days. We took a walk down to the lake and tried to feed the ducks after the meal but they all seemed a little skittish.

The excitement has started and so next weekend Lesleigh and I are off to the slopes for our first ski lessons. I hope there is sufficient snow on the bunny slopes for us to learn on. We will be skiing at Breckenridge peak 8 and that should be one of the better places to start.

The house is starting to take shape and we are three quarters complete on the bathroom renovation. The flooring is done and now just to add some skirting finishes to complete the room. The fire place downstairs works really well and we had it going all day yesterday. Our Christmas tree is also up and decorated and stands 7.5ft tall in the lounge all lit up and very impressive. Well that is about it for now, we are off to watch the new 007 movie tonight and hope that you all have a super weekend ahead.
