The winter storm fizzled! We probably got 2 inches of snow after being promised a whole lot more. We had wonderful guests (again). Ken & Sandy were here from Fort Wayne. They skied at Headquarters except the day they did the Vasa trail. They found us a few weeks ago and it was nice to have them back. Sandy is an Oboe player for the Fort Wayne Philharmonic. Ken owns his own business.

Eric, one of our winter regulars, spent Friday evening out in the garage waxing his skis for the Cote Dame Marie Ski Loppet at Hanson Hills. The weather report called for a high of 34 on Saturday. Due to a clear night, the temps on Saturday morning were in the single digits. He is using this experience to buy a second set of skis so that he can have "a cold waxed pair and a warm waxed pair".

Saturday brought more return guests. Mike & Jo spent the day at Hartwick Pines snow shoeing, Heather joined Eric for more skiing after his race and the "Brooks girls" were up for their "sisters week-end"Jeanne has been staying with us since our first winter of owning Borchers! Joy has been coming for at least a decade. We missed seeing their other sister, Kathy, but were promised that they will all be here this summer for a kayak trip. We had Borchers Pie on Sunday morning which I don't make as much as I used to. Other recipes have come along over the years, but I know that it is a favorite with these BFFs.

Rod & Irene were back on Sunday. They spent some of the evening watching the Olympics with Ken & Sandy.

We are crossing our fingers that Mother Nature will send a little more snow our way for just a few more week-ends of winter fun.
