I took a defunct sled with me today when I went up to Salt Lake to visit Rudy and Hannah. I hoped we could find a place with sufficient snow to sled on. Hannah knew of a place where there is a really splendid sledding hill on the grounds of an elementary school. Rudy clung to his favorite Christmas present, a new world globe mounted so it spins. I wondered how he could sled on a plastic shell that Hannah retrieved from their garage. I hoped to convince him to go with Hannah but in the event he went spinning off by himself down the icy slope clutching his globe. He didn't fall off the sled until it reach the valley at the base of the hill and then he headed for the area I planned to drive to to pick him up. We found a smaller, less peopled slope that edged the parking lot and he went down three times, once riding with Hannah. Then he took off for a distant playground. Hannah wanted to run after him but I told her to get into the car and we would drive toward his destination. When he realized we were both in the car he came running to join us. Rudy seems to have transitioned to eating a cheeseburger instead of chicken McNuggets at McDonalds.
I spent the morning making a wallpaper copy for the wall in back of my new freezer. It was relatively successful after several false starts. In Provo, after my trip south, I shopped for meat and other things to fill the freezer but left them in the cold car until I had created a trolley for the freezer. I had a useful piece of sturdy plywood and 4 suitable wheels on hand and quickly constructed the trolley and replaced the packing foam and plastic that came with the freezer. Then I put two additional party sized lasagnas, several packs of t-bone steaks, 5 packs of Breyer's Ice Cream, and some strip steaks in the freezer. It is not absolutely full, but definitely provides promise of provender for some time to come.
