The Duplesys Family: Just ONE MORE RUN!

It was last week....I watched the weather....Tuesday, December 30th, 2008 was going to be a beautiful day.......36 degrees and sunny! With all the snow we just had, taking a day off work was the ONLY way to go! Off to the slopes we all went, Mom, Dad and the kids! And it was a BEAUTIFUL day! Truly... "The Best Day Ever!". The snow was perfect...no ice,.....just wonderful, Colorado snow that makes you wish it were winter all year. And boy did we ski! I was "Suzy Chapstick", Jay was my little "Jean-Claude Killy" and the boys - all 3 - Shaun White shadows! We had friends in the lodge, the sun shined, the snow glistened ----- truly, "The Best Day Ever!"

UNTIL>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Oh yes, once again Jay enjoyed a toboggan ride down.......My fault...maybe.....I of course suckered him into taking "Just One More Run!"...Yes, the fateful words that have sidelined more than one skier in skiing history. ALAS, his season is over. Maybe if he didn't show off by spinning in circles on his skis, or maybe if he didn't set his bindings to "Never Release Even If My Legs Fall Off".............or maybe it was just "one of those things".......We mourn over the loss of many more tasty snow days this year that he cannot fully enjoy. (Rest assured me and the boys will, though!!!! :-)....... But poor Jay, spent his New Years in Room 428 at Valley View Hospital awaiting his transformation into The Six Million Dollar Man. (Yes, he needs rebuilding!). So for 2009 we will trade his skis in for Bingo Blotters, as that might be the last safe hobby left for my dear hubby! But that is OK......Leaving the hospital tonight, the boys and I came home to the most wonderful sunset! Maybe God's way of saying "No worries, You'll have MANY more 'Best Day Evers!!!'"

The Duplesys wish for all for the new year????? BE SAFE!!!

HAPPY 2009!!!!!!
