Grills are great!

I finally purchased a grill this week (thanks to Mike and Liz's generous wedding gift last year) -we felt that our second summer in Chicago simply could not pass without one especially as we are likely to be spending more time at home this year. It's a beauty!

The mountains of white powder at Keystone, Colorado!

We (myself, Biz and her family) just spent five great days skiing in Colorado - early April is well past peak ski season and so there is a risk that the ski conditions won't be good but in the days leading up to our trip it snowed over 40 inches - I have never seen so much powder on the slopes and some seasoned Colorado skiers told us it was the best skiing they have seen in years - it was simply fantastic.

Biz of course was not taking any chances and so did not ski. Instead she chilled out, went to the spa and caught up on some reading . Of course we were all able to enjoy some apres ski!
