Gone (downhill) skiing in CO

This weekend 4/7 of us took care of that "I live in CO, but I've never been skiing" problem we had.
These 3 plus dad.

The first two Saturdays of the month Copper Mountain hosts a family ski day. Lift tickets are $32, which compared to their Christmas Break price is a bargain. Some of the sporting goods stores offer $10 ski rental, so it's a reasonable time to take care of the above mentioned problem.

Pretty sure I had the easier day since they are beginners.

I attended Tuba Christmas with D & E. My favorite.

Last Tuesday (Nov26) was the second installment of the 40th b-day party bashes.

Two years ago my SIL Sarah organized a surprise b-day party for my brother's 40th. We decided it would be fun to meet again in November this year when my sister turned 40. We reserved a room at a Cheyenne restaurant and met tonight for dinner to celebrate 40 years of Jennifer.

It was nice to be together as a family--we don't get it done very often, so it's a big deal when we do. We succeeded in surprising Jennifer and her kids, which was a lot of fun. Our cousin and his wife live in Cheyenne, so they were able to join us as well.

My dad wrote a song for Danny when it was his turn (On Top of Old Danny--sung to the tune of "On Top of Old Smoky" so he was assigned to write one for Jennifer. We enjoyed singing together.

He wrote to the tune of "O Christmas Tree" and the song was titled "O Jennifer."

O Jennifer, athletic Jenifer, the hurdles thou didst fly o’er.

O Jennifer, athletic Jenifer, the hurdles thou didst fly o’er.

Run like the wind, jump like a deer,

Dive with such grace, year after year.

O Jennifer, athletic Jenifer, the hurdles thou didst fly o’er.

O Jennifer, sweet-singing Jennifer, mu-sic be always with thee

O Jennifer, sweet-singing Jennifer, mu-sic be always with thee

From western hills to New York hall,

Play, lead or sing, you do them all

O Jennifer, sweet-singing Jennifer, mu-sic be always with thee

O Jennifer, hard-working Jennifer, for toil none can match thee.

O Jennifer, hard-working Jennifer, for toil none can match thee.

You drive the bus, you taught in school,

You’re always in the labor pool.

O Jennifer, hard-working Jennifer, for toil none can match thee.

(Final – Slower, with emphasis)

O Jennifer, dear Jennifer

This special day we honor thee.
