Tradition

Today is Christmas day and we are headed up to Idaho Springs to go swimming in the Indian Springs pool.  This is a family tradition that dates back several decades when a planned Christmas Day ski trip was vetoed because of extreme cold.  David's sister said, "Let's go swimming instead!"  So most years we head up the road to the pool.  It is fun swimming beneath the palm trees and then letting someone else do the cooking as we eat a non-traditional meal of burgers at the restaurant there.  We usually go with my sister in-law and her husband and over the years we were joined by my parents (now gone) or my granddaughter and/or other good friends.  This year it looks like it will just be the four of us as children and grandchildren are in other places.  I will think of all while drifting in the warm water.

Merry Christmas 

We just got back from Idaho Springs - sad to say that the restaurant in the hotel is closed so we had to search for food.  About all that was open in town was the Subway so we ended up going to Central City where we had dinner at one of the casinos!  Oh, Well.
