Taking advantage of the weather

Well after a customers car was wrecked and two employees fell including one that busted his head open having to go to the emergency room my dealership closed today. When I got home my 5yo and I bundled up and headed for a close by hill. The ones of me she took as I was in motion down the hill. I was pretty impressed she was able to get such good pics while I was flying toward her.

That sure looks fun! Where was it? No hills that I know of around here but that one must be a hidden jem!
Glad you had some fun after the mishaps...
I just have cabin fever.

Mailman never even showed up here - they must have chickened out.
My mom has not see the mailman nor his tracks for the past 3 days.
So much for their "neither sleet nor snow" slogan....

Looking at that picture reminds me of Chevy Chase in Christmas Vacation when he sprayed that stuff on his lid or whatever it was and slid down the hill. Glad you guys had a good time today. I had fun out with my two grandsons.

It was an experimental cooking oil, 1000x more slippery than regular cooking oil.

Remember the non-nutritive cereal varnish that supposibly coated the flakes and kept the milk from penetrating it??
It helped prevent the cows from being viewed as cereal killers...



I'm getting hungry............
