I have to apologize for my tardiness in my posts, my life is pretty normal now but still filled with work and family time.
As I wrote in my last post, I have routines and I have everyday things and activities now, so sometimes I just cannot find the time to write. I love to write and update everyone though and today there was a lot to write about.
Today I made my Thanksgiving turkey, a little late, but I got it done.
I made the turkey with a simple stuffing of onions, carrots and celery, and on the side another stuffing, green beans and potatoes.
We had Joelle and her friend over and our friend Pierre-Louis from the Harmonie to eat at noon, and then we left to ski! It was the first time I have ever gone skiing, and I can say that I was excited until I saw the slopes!
Don't worry, I didn't go on a real slope, I stayed at the bottom with Anne and she taught me simple things, like the "chasse neige" (snow plow) and how to turn. I was so scared at the beginning and the ski shoes were squeezing the life out of my feet! My poor toes were frozen AND squished! After a while I got used to it and went down little hills at the end of the slopes and did very well!
I am going to update again as soon as I can but I hope you all enjoy this for now!
A plus!
Looks like you have a lot more snow than we have here, which is none! Glad your first ski lesson went well (no injuries!) and that Thanksgiving lunch in December was also a hit.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your next post!

Hey Victoria-- I am glad you tried skiing. I have not done it for years-but I always had a blast-- and yes- falling down with friends was part of the fun! And hot chocolate always makes everything better-even cold, squishy toes!
ReplyDeleteKeep on writing when you can-- I love following your great adventures!!! (and I think I come up as your mom since we have our SLICE email account...this time I was able to change it to anonymous- someday I will figure out how to post as myself!!! LOL LOL
