Not us!!!
As a snowstorm and howling winds prevailed in western Oklahoma on Saturday morning, I could see the wheels turning as Mike scrolled on the computer screen between customers. Not to my surprise about 11:00 he says, "We should just load up and go skiing!" We close at noon and by 1:30 we are on the road to Santa Fe to ski despite all the weather warnings of no travel. I have to admit the media loves drama because the highways were clear as a bell and the sun was shining. (Children forget I said that!) We met some dear friends in Amarillo for a late lunch and talked and laughed then on to New Mexico. We discussed on the way the many times we have been skiing over the past 35 years but could not remember a time when it was just the two of us, making this trip even more unique! A bright sunny day, several inches of fresh snow, no crowds, no wind, beautiful scenery and the man I love all add up to a "bucket list" day! I couldn't ask for more! "It was a great day to be alive!" We might not put in quite the hard day (especially Mike) as we used to but we were both pretty proud of ourselves and had no sore muscles this morning! We planned to ski again today (Monday) but the weather forecast called for 50-60 mile an hour winds so we opted to just take our time home and leave with a wonderful memory!
We love to take the road less traveled so ventured home for awhile on a different road through Las Vegas, New Mexico. Very interesting! More on a different post tomorrow!
Give me spontaneous any day!
