Thanksgiving Thanks

This year, Thanksgiving break was enjoyed at our little cabin in Listonburg, PA, affectionately known as "Bear Pause". We were greeted with a healthy 8 inches of powder.

There is a nice hill behind the cabin that my mom used to sled on as a kid. Of course, the hill was an open field at that time. Now it's covered with small (and not-so-small) saplings. The newest obstacle was a large fallen tree lying directly across the path. Not to be deterred, we sledded anyway. It's called Slalom Sledding.

Benefits of being a 4th semester nursing major:

Yep, that's right! Once or twice a week, for the last several weeks, I have been fed courtesy of area hospitals who are trying to recruit Southern nursing graduates. We had Panera bread twice and, most recently, Olive Garden! Add to that the annual Thanksgiving lunch that the nursing professors prepare. Needless to say, I haven't been eating at the cafe much.
