Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. December has been very slow, only one guest so far. We have several days scheduled for the end of the month, mostly skiing or snow shoing at Crater Lake National Park. I don't understand why more people are not taking advantage of the park in winter. It is open all year, has LOTS of snow and is just beautiful. We took advantage of the slow season to get Janet some very needed back surgery. Our daughter Penny came up from Georgia for a few weeks to help out and Janet's sister Sharon is here now for the duration of recuperation. They have both learned how to run a snowblower and are making noises about how they might like to move up here to snow country.
