You bring back memories of delightful snowy days. I grew up in the prairies of Alberta,, and without fail we spent many, many days engaged in ice skating, building snowmen and igloos, and sledding, later we called it tobogganing when the sled no longer had runners. I have pictures of me not yet able to walk but bundled in a snowsuit. My dad fixed a wooden box to a sled and this was my first of many experiences going downhill! He strapped a pair of ice skates to my snow boots when I was two. My birthday was in February so every birthday party I ever had was skating on the lake and having hot cocoa afterwards with my parents and sister. Thank you for bringing back my flood of memories with this wonderful story of you and your daughters and your dog going sledding. May they never be too old to enjoy the snow.
Wonderful story!! Snow in my area is not uncommon, but not really frequent. I’ve so many memories of sledding as a kid. But, one of my favorite memories is from a few years ago when we had a fabulous snowfall and I convinced my husband, in our grown up older years with no kids or grands, to go sledding with me. We had a perfect driveway for it and although he was resistant at first, relented. It was so much fun! We both enjoyed it so much !!
A flashback to a time that escape us now, in Florida, at an advanced age. But it sure brought back wonderful family memories. You sure have a way with words, Walter. Truly appreciated.
This post made my day! It reminded me of living in Wisconsin when the boys were young! What joy was a snow day & sledding! The memories of that are so sweet! Thanks for reminding me! ❄️

We don’t get ❄️ often, so we take trips to the mountains. We’ve had two since Thanksgiving. Your piece captures a joyous way to spend the day!
