Well, Mr. U, Sugarbaby, and I were up before the sun and on the road to Lake Placid for a figure skating competition and boy, was it cold out there in the Adirondack Mountains!!!!!
and it got colder!!!!
It actually dipped to -26 degrees before rising again. It is probably the coldest weekend of the season!

But here we were on the highway early this morning watching the steam coming off the trucks..
peering through the iced up windows.....
and watching the sunrise over the mountains...
Just spectacular!!!!
We arrived in town at around 7:30 or so....
with the mountains aglow....
Inside the Olympic Ice Center, Sugarbaby was all aglow too!!!
She competed against 5 other skaters (this photo is a shot from warm up before she took off her jacket!) in her age group and level...
and took first place!!!! Yeah!

So I am gathering up my supplies (food and fabric!) for the weekend and hiding in my sewing room, hoping to finish up this baby and soon!
Stay warm!!!

Congrats to SugarBaby! Wonderful accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteYAY for Sugarbaby!!! Maybe she will decide she likes first place and you can have a contest in the house as to who wins first place in the Cleanest Bedroom category...and she will rise to the occasion there, too? :)
