Brighton, The Ski Joint That Cares

Okay, I've been browsing the local resorts ever since we had a good snow yesterday, jonesin' for a ski fix and a good deal, when I came across this little tidbit: Brighton Resort in Big Cottonwood Canyon above SLC, is offering $15 lift tickets on the 10th and 17th of this month, as part of Quad Wednesdays. The catch? Bring a blanket, hat or pair of gloves on the 10th to donate to the Road Home Homeless Shelter, and on the 17th bring a non-perishable bag of food for the Utah Food Bank. Isn't that a great holiday idea? You get to feel good about doing unto others while you're doing good for yourself. I definitely will be out there next week, especially since the Wasatch just got a 10-day snow forecast that should leave us with plentiful powder. So if you're going to be in the area, check out Brighton: http://www.brightonresort.com/

We Interrupt This Blog For An Important Message.....

With closing day fast approaching (yay!!) and our household being packed up for the big move, it is time for me to announce a short break from our houseblog until we can get the 'net set up in our new house. Hopefully we should be back to blogging about our new digs as early as next weekend. Much thanks to all those who have offered their support, advice, and encouragement during our purchasing endeavors. When next you hear from us Nuclear Bungalonians, we'll be in lovely Ogden, Utah!

Odd Phenomenon

My oldest son pointed this one out to me. The afternoon sun had made a very decent fascimile of Utah on our kitchen linoleum. Sign of approval, or just that we need darker mini-blinds? You decide.
