We had a really nice long weekend at the cabin.  Rick and I (along with Toby & Minx) left Wednesday afternoon.  We had planned to make major progress on remodeling, but Rick reinjured his left knee earlier in the week and was on crutches.  He was eventually able to do some electrical work, and I did some trout fishing and mountain biking.  We kicked back and relaxed a lot with the cats.

We were joined on Friday afternoon and evening by Walt & Kathy and later by Randy & Sandra.  Walt, Kathy and I had a very successful fishing trip late Friday afternoon.  On Saturday, we headed into Cloudcroft for some shopping, bakery goodies and the annual Mardi Gras parade and festivities.  

Despite a winter weather warning with predictions of up to 10" of snow at higher altitudes on Saturday night, we woke up to a light snow (which melted quickly) and relatively mild temperatures compared to frigid Lubbock weather.  Once again, we left the mountains with snow on the ground to return to MUCH colder weather at home...go figure!
