Reflecting on breakfast..& a few other things...
Sunshine and blue clear skies today...
Makes the world a beautiful place.
Nora's is one of our favorite weekly rituals. Quaint and warm, it makes up in character what it lacks in quality. Service is always terrible, and even when the wind chill is 20 below outside, you can count on having a waitress wearing a tank top and shorts revealing multiple tatoos. A prerequisit, i presume, to joining the waitstaff. There's nothing we don't love about this place.
"Coffee?"
"Of course," we say, opening the crisp pages of the Jackson Hole Daily. Nida moves quickly to the center, getting an early start on the crossword. I scan the headlines ("Frontier Airlines to fly to Jackson". Maybe i can go home without paying my last dollar) but i'm distracted by the sight of a rugged-looking man sitting on a bar stool pulling out his laptop. "Does Nora's have WiFi?!" hmm and why wouldn't they? We order the same things every time but they never remember. Sometimes my eggs come out so runny i can't look at them. Sometimes they're just the way i like them. It's the kind of place where you meet your neighbors who spent the night before skiing the powder on the roof of the hardware store, and even the best in the southwest can't compete with Nora's Huevos Rancheros.
I have lots of photos
My house and roommates:
Erin Holmes and Nida Rab!!! Great times helping Gabriel shovel snow...Midnight lives in the barn but likes to think he's one of us - as do we...
Ray came out to JH from Georgia a week ago... and Nita Helmuth came to see me last wkend!! We went skiing and snowshoeing and snowmobiling, out to dinner and all the other great things to do on a western winter vacation.
This post is really too long but it's comforting to know that i did most of it while "working". I work too much this winter but i don't do much while i'm there. (that makes sense if you think about it) My favorite job is Valet at a Sporting Club at the Mountain. I get to be one of Harlow's Heroes, chit-chat, do the crossword, park a car, read the paper, watch movies, take naps and get paid to take 2 hr ski breaks. Its the most random job i've ever had... (Greg - i finally have a job that's more cushy then your armchair "health-food" job! hahahahaaaa) soo.. i'm off to live the sporting life.Peace and love to you...

Your pics are beautiful, but it looks really, really cold!!
Oh Ames! You are having such fun. Thought about you and missed you so much in FL. We had a Starbucks night, and Amy was just missing. We talked about you, and all agreed that it would be so much more complete with Amy there! Hope all goes well for you! Love you,
Hey Amy! I love your pics and writing style...very creative. Someday I may visit Jackson Hole again; it is so beautiful...have a fantastic day!!!
No darling.. you didnt forget last year.. I was at your house!! I had my first legal glass of wine with you
Remember?
And yes, I cried my eyes out over that movie.. I've already seen it twice!
i get a real thrill from your cool "you" shots! especially liked the first two from the cafe. makes me want to go out and "try hard" to do something creative with my camera. :)
