• Sunday was the last day of ski season. We’re sad it’s over. We got in 68 days, so not too bad. I hope we get more snow next year.
• It’s the last day of April. Man, this year is going by fast.
• A nice jacket and belt…both on sale.
• Maria’s dad is visiting, everyone loves Papa Parry. He’s been helping us with some yard work which is nice.
• The best sandwich.
