Karyn update - knee surgery, again

Yup, it's that troublesome right knee that just can't get enough? Walking down the slope after a wonderful full moon dinner at A-Basin... one wrong step = torn meniscus, again. Lateral and Medial - wanted to do it all at once, I guess. Torn on 4/10, surgery on 4/24, back on my feet minus crutches, 4/28. Not too bad, I suppose.

The after surgery portion wasn't so bad either - flowers and cats (all three of them for some reason) kept me company!

hmm... falling behind on posting?

So, originally I thought that once a week was doable. I don't think so any more but I hope that I'm keeping up enough that some people check 'regularly'?

This past weekend was Boomer's (Boomer lives in Iowa) A-Basin Beach Party and closing day at Vail - including a pond skimming contest in which most people with us participated even to the point of ending up in the ER. yikes!

First, the beach party -

All of us together....

And.... a GAS POWERED BLENDER FOR FROSTY DRINKS ON A FROSTY DAY!!!!



SUNDAY - VAIL CLOSING DAY POND SKIMMING....

Some are ready for pond skimming....


Some are not.


Harry goes to the ER - upside down pool entry....

ZANY Sunday!!!!

So, the 1st Sunday of April every year (since 1984) has been dubbed 'Zany Sunday'. Beverly (tucker's aunt) has many friends in Summit County and we have been lucky enough to meet up with Phyllis for the past few years for Zany Sunday.

There are always bloody marys and costumes.... and a bit of skiing too.






I even convinced the guy at the car next to us to try on my bridesmaid dress!
