THE FIRST DAY OF WINTER IS HERE – DECEMBER 22nd

It’s the first day of winter and I would like to send you all warm wishes today and throughout the rest of the season.  Morgan loved winter, because in Colorado that meant snow…and usually lots of it.

Right after Thanksgiving we would usually purchase a tree permit from the forestry service in order to hike up the mountain in search of a Christmas tree that we would then cut down and bring home to decorate.  That meant sledging through the deep snow, falling down, getting cold and wet, and at the same time laughing, enjoying nature, and drinking lots of hot chocolate.  It was an immense amount of fun and I can still remember it like it was just yesterday.  I miss those adventures, but again, I am extremely grateful that I have those beautiful memories.  Justice for Morgan!
