I just love this time of year. It is no secret that I love, just plain love winter. I love the cold and I love the snow. I love the warm clothes and the many jackets that I have and I love the fireplace and all that goes with winter. This is my most favorite time of the year.
Now, that being said, Merrill and I got away for the long three day weekend. We flew out Friday evening and came home late Monday night. We hooked up with some friends and went snowmobile riding. We both had so much fun. Now, I am the first to admit that I get intimidated when I feel I know so little and they know so much. So, what do our friends do, they hook up with the hard core snowmobile junkies and we set out for the day.
The mountains were beautiful...what we could see as it was a very cloudy day and the snow was deep. We took to the trail then before I could even get my hands warm with the hand warmers, we were off trail. I have to say, everyone was wonderful to me. They were making sure that I was okay every step of the way. At one point they stopped to explain to me that I would have to stand up as we rode uphill so as to become more one with my snowmobile. Well, I can honestly say that I never became one with it, and my legs hurt like crazy for three full days but I did indeed have a ton of fun.
Our camera froze up but we have been promised pictures when they can be emailed to us, but we did get a few fun shots when we were playing around in a field by their home.
We also went to the park. Oh my again it was cold. This is the site of the Bloomsday races. So I just had to show off myself and join right in with all of the other people in the race....LOL. To be honest, this is just about the right pace for me :o)
All in all we had a lovely time. It is great to have friends to share some good times with. It was wonderful to get away from the demands of our day to day life...but funny, it was even more wonderful to get back home.
