Thanksgiving, Sun Valley, Idaho 11/25-12/1

Good People--Jan, Amanda, Kevin, Sandy (KJ's neighbor), Sergio & Jenny (from Colombia), Fernando (friend). Slideshow on the right, click picture for captions.
Good Food--Cooking in a small kitchen took us back to our old houses/trailer days, the food was great--Amanda (green beans & pine nuts), Kevin (mandarin orange salad and squash with help from Jenny), Sandy (cranberry squares), Jan (all the rest), me (I did the knife work-peeled the Idaho potatoes and carved the range turkey). Kevin brought a pumpkin pie from Sergio/Jenny's employer-Albertsons and they provided La Crema chardonnay.
Good Exercise--We made several trips to the Fernando's YMCA for class, the hot tub and master swim with Kevin. The dogs and I did some running, we all took several walks, Kevin and I took a couple of bike rides--the weather was great for all this but no snow shoeing. Sliding down Bald Mountain on shovels in the dark was fun especially for Sergio/Jenny and Sandy's dogs (she was pet sitting them).
Great Retirement--We really enjoyed being with Amanda and Kevin and getting to know his friends.
