*  On Christmas, Buffy & John enjoyed their favorite Christmas present, skiing at Mountain Creek.  It provided an opportunity to continue the tradition of giving cookies to our lift attendant friends as thanks for their friendship and help in making skiing fun at Mountain Creek.

*  We are waiting for Mother Nature to provide the temperatures needed to blow snow at Mountain Creek.  To try to get in shape for the ski season we visited BIGSnow on Wednesday, November 30th with our ski buddy Rich Calak and wrote a newspaper article about our visit.  We celebrated the day with an adult beverage or two and pizza at our favorite watering hole Toney's Pizza on Route 23 in Stockholm.
