i haven't done much writing lately. the pics are so quick and easy to upload from the phone or Picasa, that it has put old-fashioned written posts on the back burner. that is unfortunate. A couple nights ago Alina and I were outside on the swing, it was a warmish 30 degrees around 6p. we were talking about how much snow was in our yard. I told her some piles were taller than her, almost as tall as I. She then said out of the blue, "I'm getting bigger." Cool moment. Then last night she slept in our bed and Helen was going to turn off the light to go to sleep. Alina then said it was dark and that she couldn't see. She told Helen she wanted to hold her hand, so they apparently fell asleep holding hands! Alina is a little afraid of the dark, but probably no more than other kids her age.
We are getting a nice stretch of warm sunny weather finally. Upper 30s today and 40 tomorrow. Same high pressure ridge will allow 65 in Moab and a record high of 70 in Denver tomorrow! I am going to put the rear fender on the cross machine and head out tomorrow afternoon for a little tour de breck.
