Please permit me one more blog involving the visit with my Haitian friends: it appropriately involves thanksgiving. I am thankful that the snow that fell Monday night into Tuesday came then instead of four days earlier!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16 inches of snow on our deck, November 26<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We had a few inches of snow last week, but it didn\u2019t prevent our getting to the memorial service<\/a> on time, and Fort Collins, our destination, got hardly any.\u00a0Not so this week when both Monument where I live and Fort Collins got 16+ inches. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When my son Matt was a freshman in college, I flew him home to help judge the Math Olympiad<\/a> I\u2019ve written about before. It\u2019s the only time in the history of the event that we had to postpone because of snow! So Matt missed it, and, contrary to the popular Colorado adage, \u201cDon\u2019t let the weather interfere with your plans,\u201d sometimes it does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I am thankful for the good weather we had last week enabling us not only to get to the memorial service but also to visit Glen Eyrie<\/a>, The Navigators\u2019 Conference Center on Saturday, and our church<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
