2011, here we come...

One of my resolutions for this new year is to apologize less for not getting to everything on my long list...on which 'posting more often than I do' is a frequent visitor...

With that non-apology out of the way, allow me to say hello, New Year. You arrived in a blaze of glory, following close behind the dazzling departure of your compatriot, 2010. We soaked up the sights and sounds with our dear friends J&C at their cabin on Hood Canal, which looks west to the Olympic Mountains and beyond. Words fail at moments such as this, thank goodness for photographs!

Backing up a bit to recap the big finish of 2010 - upon returning from our visit to NY and CT, Bob quickly repacked and hit the highway for WYO to help out his sister and parents for a couple of weeks...I returned a week later, spent 5-6 days in Seattle, then flew to Casper for Christmas with the family. Despite the hectic pace of travel, it was a treat to get to see everyone before the year's end - and always a pleasure to see the big sky and open country of WY and MT.

We're settled back in at home now, and striving for a month of 'pink sock weekends' as we rest up from the holiday excitement - so far so good.

Hope 2011 is off to a great start for everyone - cheers!
