In The Stars

 

I have been listening to this song on repeat so when Rachel recommended a magician astrologer, I saw a magician astrologer.

It was magic.

Krassy likens astrology charts to a sheet of music, which is given expression as we live our lives. So cool that she can read the music. So cool that we are each so specific to the universe.

Music In The Family Tree

 

During the Roaring Twenties, my great grandfather conducted for the Commodore, an iconic hotel connected to Grand Central Station in New York City. His orchestra played the largest ballroom in the country at the time.

From notes attached to a 1928 record, we learn that he was a Russian violinist who first led an orchestra in 1918 at the age of twenty eight.

Ben came out of the womb tuned to music, so it's fun for me to think about these roots as he takes his first music lessons. Ben also chose the violin.

All Of It

Happy. 

Sad. 

Whole.

In Loco Parentis

 

A lot of parenting lies ahead for us. Luckily, we are drafting on some quality guides. They recommend these resources for future use.

Seriously?!

 

We live in Fremont County, Wyoming along with nearly 40,000 other people. There is currently only one practicing obstetrician in the entire county. And it's geographically a big county. That is bonkers. 

Our friend, Katie Klingsporn, received a grant to research this situation and write about it for Wyofile in a five part series. The articles are illuminating-- a wild ride.

Drops Of God

A fine wine indeed.

The Miracles Of White Pine

 

1. This image is from the January 2024 White Pine Ski Resort newsletter.

2. Kids arriving and Laura, director of the ski school, warmly greeting them by name and offering them a hug.

3. "Magic Mike", the adored pied piper of ski school. He gave Koa the nickname "Virgil" and is called "Knucklehead" in return.

4. Bonneville forever.

5. The view of the Winds from the top of the big lift. Angel Pass and Temple Peak never fail to impress.

6. Six dollar lift tickets for kiddos under six.

Slow Horses

 

Seasons late, I am just discovering this gem.
