New Hampshire Crazies do The Loaf






Aunt Jeanna has accused me of being a slacker and I can't have that so here you go. Had a great time skiing and hanging with the family. Maria and kids arrived Thursday afternoon, we visited while the kids swam and racquetballed. Thursday night we chatted with the captain and waited for Karl to bring some real entertainment. Friday Hannah had a lesson while the rest of us ripped it up on the hill. Saturday brought 6" or 8" of mashed potatoes topped with freezing rain. It was pretty miserable but they all toughed it out. Jane and Hannah even skied the birches alone, very impressive. The kids went turbo tubing Saturday night while Aunt Annie went to Winslow for Hockey. Sunday was a beatiful sunny day and we all got to ski together, even got to take some runs with Elija "the tele-skiing" Tuell on his birthday. I can't believe what great skiers Hannah and Jane are. They both improved so much over last year. Hannah did tote road from the top, that's a big deal. Ben and I ended the day by skiing Sluice, Narrow Gauge and Comp Hill. He outlasted us all. We had lots of laughs and can't wait for next year. Tone Tuell arrived from Mexico at 2:30am Monday. It was another beautiful day in the mountains and we skied most of the day. Another day in paradise. Happy Spring. Thanks so much for the visit.
Love,
AA

Mum's Birthday April 6

Mum's birthday is coming up on April 6th. All you daughters and sons trying to find the perfect present for our much deserving mother? Too late...I've already secured the best present ever!!! I found the fan mail from our grandfather, Dom Travalini's band the Beacon Street Trio and made a shadow box from a sample of the mail. Pictures were included of Grampy from his Beacon Street Trio day---The final product was awesome! Good luck topping that!
