After I picked myself up off the den floor, I thought about my sledding history (not very extensive) and how we used to swipe cafeteria trays in college and slide down the slope behind the dorm complex. I don't think I would fit on a cafeteria tray these days. You got ice, but we just get rain, although right now our raindrops are starting to look a little whiter and fatter. There may be hope.The Calico Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772374749065425388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569719583017798476.post-27466629974637440972009-02-01T08:22:00.000-05:002009-02-01T08:22:00.000-05:00How funny!

After four years of skiing lessons, I broke my leg going UP the rope tow :) Winter sports have never been my forte!Joan Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11068492574250515332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569719583017798476.post-31296624396164205682009-01-31T15:24:00.000-05:002009-01-31T15:24:00.000-05:00Hilarious!

No bunny slopes for me! Keep in mind this was at major ski resort, not one of those manmade places that are pretty flat. <BR/><BR/>...Anyway took several minutes to get to the top in the ski lift and jumping out of that thing was scary in and of itself. Then my friend told me to just bend my legs and lean forward with the poles behind me and he said go side to side so I can stop at each side before going down farther. Well, off I went! <BR/><BR/>And like you on your sled I was going So FAST and I was afraid to bend my legs from side side or do anything else. So, there I was in that sloped down knees bent position the whole time on this long course, you know like the professional skiiers do at the Olympics for speed. <BR/><BR/>My friends were laughing hysterically and tried to keep skiing next to me to tell me what to do at the bottom which would be coming up eventually. At the bottom I put my skiis together like they show on the Wild World of Sports and didn't crash too bad afterall! <BR/><BR/>What memories! <BR/><BR/>KimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569719583017798476.post-25967045524499947122009-01-31T14:09:00.000-05:002009-01-31T14:09:00.000-05:00oh Joan!

You've created a wonderful memory that Brayden will be telling his children 30-years from now... <BR/><BR/>when we were kids, it didn't snow much in NE Arkansas... but when it did... we used those fine silver round garbage can lids... they were swell!<BR/><BR/>hugs.
