COLD WINTER THOUGHTS FROM AN OCTAGENERIAN ME ...

 "GOT SNOW?"... Meet my middle granddaughter Katie, whose version of Paradise seems to revolve around snow. Snow and cold do not bother her; she loves winter & big hills & moving fast downward through snow on a snowboard! ... She can't get enough of it! ...

(Ah, to be young again! Snow was once magical, too, for the much-younger ME. ... I, too, was drawn to the snow; to the cold; to tobogganing, ice-skating, long walks in the snow & building snow people ... I, too, waited impatiently for the good things of winter and snow! ...

(Who KNEW that senior "crepe-paper skin" would one day make me cringe at the THOUGHT of contact with COLD snow, COLD wind ... or COLD-outdoor-ANYthing?!! ... )
