Today was Christmas morning, but we’re gonna wait until Max is here to do our celebrating. Instead, Diane Gabe and I went up and down camels hump. It’s kind of a tradition of ours. It was a beautiful bluebird day\u2026 Reasonably warm like in the 20s with plenty of snow. We brought our butt sled for the ride down, which was so fun.\u2026 We got Gabe to completely explain his thesis to us on the way up, which took about, the time it took to get to the top of this mountain\u2026 But it’s such cool stuff

We met a guy abotu my age hikign down as we hiked up. one of only 2 people we saw on our way up. He had a raggiday anne doll stickign out of his pack.. we asked abotu it.. it was soemthig he carried in mmemory of his grandaughter who had died.. we talked ffor a bit abotu the wonderful ehaliung of being outside.. we gave hom a samstone.. and conitued up . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It hadn’t been that cold or windy on the way up, but we knew the last bit to the top would be both cold and windy\u2026 So we bundled up, went up and enjoyed the view\u2026 We also put a sandstone there as we always do and had a cuppa hot tea before getting down off to warm up.  It’s such a beautiful hike up!.

As fun as the hope up and visiting the top of then the thing we were most excited about was sledding down. We have a couple of these but sides and we had borrowed some from Carol and Kim. Basic ideas pretty simple. It’s a hard plastic thing and you hold onto your life as you go skating down the mountain. Use your feet to steer\u2026 Sort of. It is amazingly fun.

we made it down in just abotu an hour.. about 30 minutes faster than hikign alone could do it.

Diane. gabe and I found the old gramophone that my parents had bought in Cape Cod in 1963 (I think)\u2026 It was still in pretty good working order. I have to repair the needle a bit, but it should be able to some of the records that we have cylinders. It was so amazing to be looking at a working mechanism that was about 120 years old. Unbelievable.
