Friday, January 15th, Me...on skis...a bit like an elephant on skis...


Chuck has been trying to get me to try cross country skiing forever. I have been very hesitant as I am not the most coordinated person in the world, but this week he borrowed Kathy's skis as she is about my shoe size and we set a date. I was scared to death, but in the end, I only fell twice. I think that is because I got a little overconfident and I lost my balance when I got going a little too fast. I am willing to do it again, but only with my very patient husband who actually sat on a bench at one time to wait for me to catch up. He said the conditions weren't very good as we have had warmer temperatures the past couple of days and it wasn't really snow, but more icy conditions. Next time we have a good snow, I will try again to see if it is a bit easier.
