Mr. Estes Park Well, it's done...

We've been in a deepfreeze for the last few days with highs during the day around five degrees.  Today we were blessed with the wind.  I felt like I was living in Nebraska again.   This snow drift suddenly appeared today on our deck after the wind decided to reposition the snow that had been fall...

 In my time here I have read countless posts, wrote over 550, and commented nearly 10,000 times.

This isn't San Diego.  While I was in San Diego, I think I ate fish for every meal I was there with the exception of the In & Out Burger that Mark stopped and picked up for us on our way to the Airport.    The Fish Market is always a favorite in San Diego located near Seaport Village on the water...
