Raindrops on Roses and Whiskers on Kittens




Well, not exactly, but this week did contain a few of our favorite things. Football, skiing, and beer. Now I would be irresponsible if I didn't admit that all of our weekends involve football, skiing, and beer, but this one was of epic proportions. Football: free tickets to the Fiesta Bowl in Phoenix, AZ courtesy of Megan, super journalist. Who was playing? Oh, that's right, the West Virginia Mountaineers. And who won? Of course, the Mountaineers. It was a bad day to be a Sooner. Needless to say, we had to take a detour from Cleveland to Phoenix. Clearly. The beer: $7.50 for a Coors Light at the stadium. Oh yes. We paid for 4 of them. Yuk! And Skiing: Upon our return to Tahoe, 6 FEET of snow was bestowed upon our mountain paradise. We skied it all all weekend. There were face shots, a lot of wallowing, and even more laughing. It was indeed epic. The Subie did just fine with all the snow... it was her battery that finally slowed us down. On the sunday, on the way down the hill, she died. It was also emotional. We had to push her through a intersection. She's getting a new alternator to be ready for the next Sierra storm. So, that was the end to an epic weekend of skiing, football, and beer. Back to normal life, now. We take comfort in the fact that more snows will come, there's Sierra Nevada in the fridge, and there's still a few more weeks of football. Come on out and play!
