Today was our annual Rock Springs Guest Ranch staff outing to the woods, traipsing through the snow, cutting a tree for the lodge. The weather was perfect- new snow and sunshine, and the company is always fun. It's my favorite staff gathering during the year. I'll post some pictures here, too. We missed Hud- there were far fewer snowball fights this year, and not one snowbank tackle. This is not all bad, as it's a very slim snow year, about 3 feet less on the ground than last year up where we cut our tree.
Chef Steven, Danielle, and Melody made a gingerbread house for the Sisters Winter benefit for Habitat for Humanity. It was a ton of work, but turned out very cool. I'll put up pictures of it, too.
Thanksgiving was very nice. We had a good crowd here for the weekend, and everyone enjoyed the laid back pace of the holiday. Thanksgiving dinner was fabulous, of course, with turkey and all the traditional trimmings.
