Lake Placid 2nd post

Well evidently one is only able to post 6 photos per entry, so here is the rest of the story on LP


We had a leg of lamb on Sat night- yuummmmmmmmmmmy

Played some parcheesi- here's a sweet block that Andy had going, although Dorinda ultimately won!

We went for a snowshoe hike on Sunday

Winter retreat

We spent the extended weekend at our friend's (Blair & Marjorie) house in Jay NY near LP (Lake Placid for the flatlanders)

We left around 5pm Thurs and arrived at 12:30 Fri. I figured we would have a few drinks to unwind but ended up drinking until about 4:30. Blair woke up around 3 and promptly joined us for some cognac. What a refreshing effect being in the mountains has!

Here's the liquor stock:

We did get out despite the cold, about 3 F at night and high of about 22 during the day. We visited John Browns grave and farmsite near the ski jumps.

Dorinda's new rabbit fur vest ! Thanks to the rabbits who gave up their fur.

We also rode the bobsled at Mt Von Hoevenberg, its the the lower half of the 1980 course. You ride with a steerman and brakeman and reach speeds of above 50 mph and pull at least 2 g's on the curves. What an experience!

Thoughts and prayers request

Dorinda's grandfather Bob Elliott is in the hospital and scheduled for triple bypass and valve repair tomorrow. He is in the cardiac care unit at Doylestown Hospital which is a really nice facility and his room is on par with a 4 star hotel!

He has been there a few days and they are making sure he is 110% before the procedure. His spirits are high and he has so much company that after a while he wants everyone to leave! (to know him is to love him)

Please include him in your prayers and thoughts to get through this quickly and have lots more years to enjoy with the family.
