I have literally felt like I was in a fog for the last few days. Somehow I managed to contract that nasty stuff that was going around. Ugh! I finally dragged myself to the doctor and was relieved that it was something that could be treated with an antibiotic rather than stay the course until it left my body. I am actually feeling human again as the song in
Beauty and the Beast goes.
So....my last post was from the sunny beaches of the Florida Keys? Well, this post is about a giant contrast. As many of you know, each year we take a family vacation to the Sierras for some snow fun. Is it any wonder my body revolted from the temperature extremes?

| Looking good! |
 |
| Plenty of snow this year. |
We rent the same condos each year and everyone does their own thing. Some are skiers, some love snowboarding and others just enjoy sledding. It's a wonderful time for hanging out with cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents.

| I can never tire of the view from our condo. |
 |
| Cousin love. |
 |
| The girls! |
 |
| Snow fun. |
 |
| Growing up too fast. |
 |
| The techy guys. |
 |
| Everyone loves a baby. |
 |
| Snow goggles??? Are you serious? |
 |
| Hanging out before dinner. |
 |
| Whew...what a ride! |
 |
| Happy birthday to Mr. P! |
 |
| Before skiing. |
 |
| You want me to wear this too????? |
 |
| My turn!!! |
 |
| On top of the world. |
 |
| That was one deep hole. |
 |
| The girls performing a skit for everyone. |
 |
| Grandma time. |
 |
| Time for lots of games too. Bananagrams and Mah Jongg were the biggest hits. |
Today I have been busy sewing away. I had promised two of the girls dresses for the school family dance this weekend and have not felt like sewing them until today.
I was a part of the ALQS5 swap this year and my partner's mini quilt arrived. It is just gorgeous and I have a special place in my studio for it. I wish she had a blog because her work is spectacular and I would love to follow what else she is doing. My mini is making it's way to England so I can't show any pictures of it yet.

| This is so much prettier in person. |
It looks like we are in for a little more rain for the next week. I just want it to be out of here by next Wednesday as my cousin and his wife are coming for a visit from Iowa. I am sure they would love to have some nice weather to warm them up. Keep your fingers and toes crossed for them!!!
