Another wonderful women's week was had and but a memory now. Eight women talking, laughing and enjoying our time together. Wonderful!
Off the Trail
...it was cards and laughter at night while enjoying our various drinks. For me, it was a new foray into Jameson for my after dinner drink....before a couple more beers. In the mornings and any other time we wanted, we had three jigsaw puzzles to work on and finish. One day, a day that could have been/should have been a disaster of various plannings (skating on the canal, museum visit, and lunch), turned into, instead, a day of laughter, with wind and cold and parking fiascos. Only one made it skating and two to the museum, but all of us had fun. We women know how to laugh for sure.
On the Trail
...I was able to have skiing one-on one-with three different ladies, lucky me, and then a solo ski and walk also. Focusing on the ski, I found notable buildings and the serenity of the trail, and then, what a treat, hockey!
Looking out at the river, I saw a pick-up game. I stopped and watched. I'm sure there are parts of the USA that still has people outside enjoying the cold, but for me, I don't see it that often. It was a sight for sore eyes.
My walk took me much farther out than I thought, but I so wanted the old electric pole I'd seen on one of my other one-on ones. Finding it (can you see it? Appreciate it?), I was able to also take a photo of found artwork, a small but wonderful looking cottage/boathouse, and the markers that explained how much I'd walked, answer being, a lot! Then, to end my walk, a snow gnome. Walking alone in the woods at twilight was magical.
The week was especially good because there had been a few who'd questioned their ability to come and yet, all made it. Perfect!
