We flew to Newark ( via Frankfurt - never again ), and drove up to see Duncan & Katy at Ithaca , northern NY state. Enjoyed some good walking, cycling, eating and drinking with them for 3 days and lovely to see them. We returned to Newark via Croton - on - Hudson where Carolyn Lamb (an ex Dunfermline HS teaching colleague of Mary's) and her delightful family live spending one night with them. Back to Aspen just before Thanksgiving to find it starting to snow an hour after we arrived . Didn't stop M though getting out on her mountain bike not hugely successful ! We still need a lot more snow though. Straight into Aspen Ski Co work for M ( see smart new uniforms) and bus driver training for me for Snowmass Village ( see bus on Owl Creek Road ). Thankfully passed 2nd and final part of CDL test ( pretty nerve racking ) and now have full CDL licence. Start in earnest for full time seasonal job in 2 days time - 2 days and 3 evenings (3 till 11). Plenty of time for powder days hopefully. Thanksgiving dinner with Mike & Gigi Potter our neighbours who kindly looked after Meadow Ranch for us while we were away - see turkey cooked on rotating spit - quite delicious and with every trimming you could imagine. A happy time is Thanksgiving over here and goodness what a lot we had/have to be thankful for .
