2007.1.19-21. Snow retreat at Mountain Home Lodge above Leavenworth. 4:15pm pick up on Friday. Walked about the ground before dinner. Start with wine and cheese. Very salty salad, but perfectly cooked beef tenderloin and mashed potato. Finished with a tall layered raspberry and cream sponge cake. I was so stuffed and had to walk around before settling back in the house.
Woke up to a bright sunshine. Fruits, juice, egg, bagel started the day. Cross country ski until about 2pm, barely made it back for sandwich, soup, and freshly baked cookies. After a break, walked up the northern hill trying to catch the sunset in vain. Soaked under a bright new moon and glittering snow to ease the bruises and blisters from the morning ski trip. Dinner started with Chinese dumplings, followed by salad, wild rice and overcooked salmon breaded in sesame seeds, ended with a beautiful chocolate and peanut butter cake. Retired contentedly.
No sun Sunday. After fruits, pancake and sausage, tubing down the front law. Was fun. Arrived at home a bit over 3pm.
