Cross country love

Despite the fact that the conditions were dangerously icy yesterday and I fell multiple times, jamming my thumb really hard once and landing on my ass hard enough to create a bruise that I almost felt compelled to name, I absolutely LOVE cross-country skiing.  If you haven't given it a try because you mistakenly believe … Continue reading Cross country love

12 Days of Christmas – Dining Delso

Albany’s Last Run
