Well… hello, spring!
Just as Spring has sprung, ‘ol Mr. Cold Miser had to get in one more day of the fluffy white stuff.

We’re so proud of this girl!
She won 3rd place at Yosemite Law Day 2022 for her essay about the indigenous people in modern times.
Good job, Ali!

OMG, I had such a great night at Yosemite Axe Throwing during the Summer League Tournament. I’m so thankful that we have such a fun event in our small mountain community! I’ve been hooked from the start and look forward to competing again in the fall league.
If you’re in the area and are looking for something different to do, please join us on Tuesday nights for our fun and family friendly league.
Yesterday we wrapped up our online Easter Basket auction and brought some joy to our community.
It was a good day!
Thank you to our wonderful community, Soroptimist members, Sue Graham of Oakhurst Giftworks for use of her front porch, and the best Easter Bunny ever, our daughter Ali. ??
I had a GREAT night with the family at The Forks Resort.
I’ve missed this. ??
Hooray!!!!
My local gym is finally open!!!
I haven’t been able to hit the gym since July of last year. Although I tried my best to keep some sort of regiment at home, I failed miserably. Oh feeling the burn, the post workout pump and once again waking up to soar muscles is such a welcome change.
Can’t wait to get this neglected shell of a physique back in better shape, and drop some of these unwanted Covid pounds that have creeped up over this past year.
What a great day, celebrating Alison’s 13th birthday.
How did this happen?
She’s a teenager!
She had a great day and a great party at Yosemite Axe Throwing, and we’re so thankful to our friends and family who love on her so much, and who help shape the young woman she’s becoming.
We love you all ??
I took Ali through the drive-thru award ceremony at school today.
She earned President’s Honor Roll for 4.0 and Perfect Attendance for the 3rd Quarter!
After being without power for the last five days due to the worst wind event I’ve ever seen, we were treated to our first snow day of the year.
The power was restored on Saturday night, after being out for the week, and it was nice to get the house back to normal after days of generator power.
The snow started falling Sunday evening and kept up pretty much all night. Woke to a nice covering of the fluffy white stuff and thankful that the power was still on. 🙂
Roads from the house were not plowed and a little unnerving as I rolled the beast down the hill toward town. I was very happy to see the roads were clear when I hit the highway, and from there on out my travels were free and clear.
Days like these are the reason why I love the mountain life.
After using the shop’s axes for a few weeks now, we decided to try to increase our chances with a little consistency in what we are throwing.
I first purchased an axe directly from the WATL called “The Butcher”. This thing is a beast, and I quickly named it “Thanos” of course, or “T?t??” in Greek. Ali’s been really into Greek mythology recently so it seemed fitting.
I also purchased a WATL “Completion” thrower for Ali, as it was described as the perfect axe for the beginner. After receiving the axe we found that it was way to heavy for most younger throwers so we decided to name this one “Brick” (“???ß??” in Greek) as it’s built big and strong.
While we were at the shop trying out the new axes, one of the instructors had Ali try one of his smaller lighter axes which she loved so much we convinced him to sell it to her. She named this one “Cheese” (“????” in Greek), but I’m still not sure where she came up with they name.

Well, even though the heavier “Composition” axe didn’t work for my baby girl, I’ve found that I really like it for a hitting kill shots, although consistency on those shots are still developing. 🙂
I have to say, it’s nice to be doing something new in this crazy time of having so much taken away from us. It’s fun spending some family time outside the confines of our home. Can’t wait to try these new axes out at the next league night.
