We were lucky that the storm that crept up on us December 30 and 31--not even mentioned in forecasts two days earlier--did not prevent Mor-mor, Grandpa, and Uncle Peter from making it out for their visit safely and on time. It did prevent us from getting up the hill to our neighborhood from the main road, after a harrowing one-hour, five-mile drive home from downtown. As a result Tom spent a full day at the dealer getting a set of snow tires put on the car that cost as much as a used car itself might have. But thank goodness, they did the trick. My snow envy did not factor in our slip-sliding all over the Front Range.

A tour of campus was the chance to take a photo we've meant to get since moving here. I've said the college is welcoming of staff and faculty kids, no?
Incidentally, for the curious: |

| Edith went home and promptly created corners around the house for everyone else, lest we be left out. She even proposed to open a company selling individual corners. |

glad you got your snow! :)
I thought of you guys when I heard that the Rockies got snow... Maybe you just needed to have Santa bring the snow boots first. What a fun time to share with the whole extended family.
love "Edith Corner"!! :)
