Taperus Interruptus


Long classic ski


At the soup stop.

Kirsten really wanted to go to the Glide N' Gorge at Maasto Hiihto trails.  How could I refuse such a wonderful wife?  So She Who Must Be Obeyed bought tickets and off we went.  Not ideal for a taper week, but it was all about fun and food.  At the first table were appetizers.  I made sandwiches out of salami, cheese, smoked whitefish, oriental mustard, marinated onion and kale.  The salami acted structurally as the bread.  Yummy! We were the last ones through and got to take a bunch of fish with us.  I think that probably put paid to one of our tickets!

Next, down in the gorge was the soup stop.  They had eleven different kinds!  By the time we got there, they were down to about six.  I had a bowl each of chili, squash, vegetable and beef stew.  I was stuffed.  Then of course came the climb out of the gorge.

Last was the dessert stop at the chalet.  This being Lent, I abstained.  Here's a picture for you:

Just saying 'no.'

We took it easy, taking in the sights and having fun.  Here's a map:

Shootim


This morning after church but before the ski outing, we headed for the barn.  The farrier was there trimming horse's hooves.  Shootim' was ok for a little runaround after he had his feet trimmed.  We combed tails, then headed for home to warm up before the ski trip.
