| I took up skiing when Deanna and
Danielle took their 1st lessons. I thought for sure that at age
51, I had waited much too long to take up the sport. But, much to
my surprise I didn't break a leg and I found I could actually get down a
hill without falling too many times. Once I got over the "Oh
My God, you want me to do what???? Point my skis DOWN the hill???
" I began to enjoy myself. I don't know if I'll ever ski
black diamonds, but I have continued to improve every year and jump at
the chance to hit the slopes whenever I can. |
