Winter Break

Between my having surgery and the weather being COLD, we haven't gotten out of the house much over the last couple of weeks. Building a new track and playing with trains has become a daily ritual. It seems Gavin has a different favorite train each day. Today Henry (Engine #3) gets top billing. Make way, Thomas!


The air in Cache Valley can get pretty yucky in the wintertime. When the weather gets stagnant and the cold sets in, "red air days" are not uncommon. In the week before Christmas our local paper reported both that Logan had the worst air quality in the nation, and that Logan is the 4th most secure small town in the nation. So, we take the bad with the good. Today we are finally getting a break from the bitter cold and getting some snow. The air will be clearer, the temperatures will be tolerable, and the snowman manufacturing will commence shortly.
