Relaxation







Promises? Yeah, Baby, I'm in. Who can resist its charm and tranquility? Not me. It's in my top three favorite things to do.

Two feet of snow--we heard. We dismissed it.

School closed. We packed faster and got out of Dodge. At least the roads were clear; no traffic and the conditions were wet all the way. We giggled at our good fortune, anticipating our impromptu get aw--

ACCCH-PSSSS flblblbbbbbbb

My stomach churned in remembrance of my LAST flat tire which as most of you will recall ended in sparks, fire and tears.

"Dag Gummit! A BLOWOUT!" The laughter grew as we proceeded to call AAA for help and quote my favorite movie "A Christmas Story." I'll see if I can find the clip. Sure it took more than eight minutes but we couldn't have cared less. We were invincible. Besides, the young cute Brad Pitt that came to rescue us made it even better... LORDY ! I just HAAAAD to git out an HAY-elp! (after combing my hair, pouting my lips and putting on just a HINT of gloss...any damsel in distress should look her best...C'MON!) With my smutty thoughts tucked away, I pinched Cheech's rear and off we went.

Promises- Ahhh my heart soared and it had to considering the drifts were to the first floor roof. The ones near the door were up to my hip. We swam through and snagged our shovels. After digging out, we settled in: a roaring fire, wonderful wine and fantastic raviolis with vodka tomato sauce.

Morning brought more snow as we piled into the truck for tubing. AWESOME! We were the only ones on the hill for about half an hour. This enabled me to get caught up in the tow rope, get flipped over the back half of the mountain and conduct a winter clothing "yard sale" while screaming like Goofy: Baaaahahaha-hoooooie! I would giggle and point, we all know that, so I just stayed there making sure I had all the body parts I'd started out with and laughed until I went numb. Oh wait that was the snow that had accumulated in every crack and crevice God gave me.

Needless to say, I headed to the bar where I found the BEST drink ever...second only to our signature Yaya drink. Ladies???? You're in for a treat. It makes you lick your lips and think how good you taste. On the brink of sexy. Weee HOO!

We dug out our neighbors, watched the otters on the lake, and made the mental note NEVER to let Winston out with out his leash at night. Considering the menacing, hungry growl seeping from the trees...He's likely to become an appetizer for something.

We cooked, laughed, shovelled and loved our way through our weekend. Wish you were there~so I did the next bet thing.

Hope you smiled. I did.
