Ski Day with Tawny, Mary and Tori

Skiing, 2 bald eagles, friends, turkeys, God's beautiful mountains covered in snow and a lot of laughter.  Add them all together and the sum is a perfect day! Tawni chauffeured us up to the mountain on Monday.  
Unloading time!  Prime real estate for parking and we didn't have to pay.  
 Why is it when I take a selfie my face is always huge?  I must keep practicing!
 We got someone else to take a picture of us.  Do we look happy or what!!!!  Let's ski!
 If you weren't at 49 Monday you missed a day with just a few people skiing.  More arrived later but there was not a crowd!

 Love the hat!  As we were skiing I finally realized that Tawni and Mary did not wear helmets.  I gave them the AS A PERSON WHO HAS HAD A BRAIN INJURY speech!  Wear your darn helmet. 
 Action shots of Tawni!

 Mary is peeking into the picture on the right!
Tawny and I had a conversation about what a gift from God these views are.  People that don't get up to the mountains during the winter are missing out!  Beautiful.
 Yes, here we are.  We really did ski!  Fast and furious.
You will see Tori on the ground a bit.  It isn't because she fell because she crashed.  It is very hard to just stand to take pictures on a snowboard.  This happened more than once and some people in this picture are laughing because of it.  Laughing really hard!

Tori and Tawni!  Super stars.  Well, sort of.  Tawni did clip her ski pants into her bindings.  She didn't discover it until she got off the lift.  Would a super star do that?  You be the judge!
 Tori!  Riding the board!
 Tawni.  I took these pictures into the sun.  It was impossible to see what you were taking a picture of.  The picture I took of Mary was only snow.  Opps.
 Now Tawni knows how to take a selfie!
 I think Tori is in the process of falling during this picture.
 Yes, yes she was!
Lunch time.  Mary was very entertaining during lunch.  She had a very philosophical comment about God.  Our world is God's reality show.  How does she come up with things like that?  I cannot write about the example she gave to illustrate this comment.  Let's just say we were all laughing and I was almost laying in my chair I was laughing so hard.  Thanks Mary for entertaining us.  I was given a new nickname at this gathering.  Jackie Do.  What does that mean Tawni????
Tawni and I took a couple of runs after lunch.  My knee was like a watermelon, Tawni hadn't been skiing for a while and we decided to call it a day.  Mary and Tori took one more run, maybe two.  Not sure.  We sat at a table and visited.  One more story about dear Mary.  She was telling us something and at this point I don't remember what her story was about, in the middle of a sentence she said, "Oh my God!"  We all turned to look at what she was looking at and it was a worker up some stairs putting his shirt on.  Of course we all turned to see what she was looking at while she looked away.  He had 3 women watching him.  She started the story again and continued to be distracted mid-sentence by this man.  Another great laugh!  Not sure what he thought about the whole thing.  
Huge face again.  It was a blessing of a day.  I am so happy to know these wonderful women and to be able to spend the day skiing with them.  I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.  The day was full of joy!  Thank you to Tawni, Mary, and Tori for sharing the day with me and being my friends.  I am blessed!
