Ski Day at Eldora Mountain Resort
Nine members of the extended Family Vance family trekked to Eldora Mountain Resort the day after Christmas, and of course we caught the highlights on video. Cousins Lauren, Lindsay, Elijah and Josh hit the slopes, Aunt Lela and Jessica went snowshoeing, and the rest of us just drank egg nog with the elves (really!) in…
Happy Birthday, David!
Today is David’s 36th birthday.
Driving home from school, Elijah and Joshua were talking in the back seat as usual. They started talking about grades in school and how when Elijah is in 4th grade, Joshua will be in 2nd grade and so on. They went on through middle school and high school.
Joshua said, “12th grade is the last grade.”
I replied, “And then you go to college.”
Joshua then said in the sweetest, most sincere voice, “You go to college, then you get married, then you get a baby, and then you live happily ever after.”
I hope he’s learning from example.

It’s been a few years since we snowshoed at Brainard Lake, so we loaded up the gear and headed…

In French, we have been working on clothes, and have recently started working on activities and vacation time. In…
Sawhill Ponds Fishing Report
I usually don’t like to fish at Sawhill Ponds or it’s sister Walden Ponds, but driving home from work today I decided to stop by Sawhill Ponds. I hardly catch anything at these mostly over-fished and fished-out ponds. I guess I’ve got the seasonal fishing bug. Even though the day was a beautiful day in…
