Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!
Well, I did it! I went skiing after a 28 year break between the last time I did it! I was well aware going into this that I am now 52 years old young (it is a state-of-mind) and the last time I skied was before I had children! Since my oldest is now 26 years old I 'm guessing it has been about 28 years since the last time I skied, which means I was about 24 years old! I'm happy to report that it is like riding a bike and it all comes back very quickly! I imagined myself getting back on skis again and having it feel the same way but I was actually shocked that it did! The best part was that my muscles weren't even sore the next day!!! That is what surprised me the most! I guess hiking the hills around here is good ski conditioning! I had to share this photo because I wish you all could see the beautiful views skiing above Lake Tahoe! It is breath-takingly beautiful up there! I had so much fun I'm already planning another ski trip next month!
Since I just didn't want to share a photo of me, here is a mosaic I made of some of the favorite things around "My Romantic Home".
I hope you all had a wonderful January! Where did this month go? I guess it went just as fast as the last 28 years since I skied last! My mom always told me that your life goes by faster as you get older...she sure was right! That is the reason I'm getting out and enjoying it to the fullest these days! I hope you are too!

You must be in great shape Cindy, I would be crippled if I tried that LOL, thanks for hosting! Have a great weekend.
I love skiing and the closest lifts are just 16 miles away, but honestly, it's so cold right now I cannot picture myself on top of that mountain. I am looking forward to spring skiing. Good for you for having fun doing something you have missed. Life is too short to let the good times pass us by. Thanks for hosting Cindy, you are always an inspiration!
Big Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Congratulations on your skiing adventure! You're an inspiration! Thank you for hosting and I love the mosaic! Have a great weekend!

Great photo! You need to frame that one! I have never gone skiing (snow or water) - I would prob. end up in traction. Yes - Life does go by faster as you get older. :(

Hey Cindy, You look marvelous - such an inspiration. My daughter went skiing a couple weeks back for the first time. She'd lost a lot of weight and had been exercising - she attributes that to her being able to do well - she loved it too! I appreciate you hosting,

Thanks for hosting the party. We're almost the same age and I cannot picture myself skiing again. I was much more limber back when I was younger and I'm not sure I wouldn't throw my back out trying to get off the ski lift :)
Thank you so much for hosting Cindy! Your picture skiing is sooo great!!
Have a lovely weekend!
Blessings,
Vesna

I was a black diamod skier at Tahoe and Mammoth in the 80's with my husband. SInce he left me for a 19 year old,I have not been able to afford to ski again and now am to ill to ever ski again. I enjoyed seeing it through your eyes as I remember the lake view very well. Congrats on doing well and being brave!
